This is a hilarious comedy auctioneer skit
by George Graham
How George Graham was discovered (by Fred Gaisberg from his book):
"..one of these, George Graham, was a character of Washington life, a type of happy-go-lucky vagabond met with in the saloons, mostly near the free lunch counter...He steered the easiest course through life, sometimes as a member of an Indian Medicine Troupe ..and in the winter selling quack medicines on the street corners. His tall lanky figure draped in a threadbare Prince Albert coat..and his ready stream of wit combined to extract the dimes and nickels from his simple audience..I discovered him one day on the corner of Seventh and Pennsylvania avenues selling a liver cure...
