Own Dopplemayr's Ironing Board....Auction Of Personal Effects Of Cable car Pioneer Artur Doppelmayr Runs Until 18th Aug

Personal pieces from the estate of the Vorarlberg entrepreneur who died in 2017 are now going under the hammer. Bids are possible until August 18th. Whilst SIn loves a bit of ski history, we suspect that the attraction of Artur's ironing board, pans or toaster might rather limited...it's best described as dumpster fodder.

He was an innovative entrepreneur, honorary senator, late appointed doctoral student: Artur Doppelmayr, born in 1922, shaped the Vorarlberg cable car company Doppelmayr for decades and made it internationally successful from Wolfurt. The cable car pioneer was the recipient of numerous decorations and awards and was still 75 when he received his doctorate from Graz University of Technology. Doppelmayr died in his adopted home of Carinthia in 2017.
