Threadgill’s Old No. 1 Auction Saturday June 27th, featuring Eddie & Sandra Wilson’s collection of Armadillo World Headquarters posters, Janis Joplin, Kenneth Threadgill & Austin music memorabilia, vintage beer signs & more from the historic original Threadgill’s location in Austin Texas .
After waiting in line all night to get the first liquor license in Travis County following the repeal of prohibition, Kenneth Threadgill opened his gas station / beer joint in 1933. It didn’t take long for it to become a second home for local musicians. By the 1960s Threadgill’s Wednesday night jam sessions were draw to musicians including Janis Joplin who sang here often, developing her style that would make her the first female rock & roll star. By 1981 Threadgill’s was facing the wrecking ball until Eddie Wilson bought it. After the Armadillo World Headquarters closed on New Years Eve 1980, Eddie Wilson opened Threadgill’s on New Year’s Eve 1981 & has been serving Southern comfort food & live music 365 days a year until closing recently, ending 87 years worth of music history.
The auction will feature a world class collection of Austin music memorabilia, concert posters, vintage neon beer signs, & much more. Original Janis Joplin Burton Wilson photos & memorabilia, Kenneth Threadgill’s gold record, early Texas beer signs, Armadillo World Headquarters posters, historic bar & backbar from the Armadillo, custom neon signs & much more!
