Welcome to our LIVE Auction. Amazon Rooks Davis resided at the Old Baldy Country Club, located in Saratoga, Wyoming, for approximately 35 years and until her death in December of 2000. She was 93 years of age. The items offered by this auction were located in her residence. Prior to taking up residence in Saratoga, Ms. Davis had lived and worked in New York City. She was an employee and stockholder of Avon Corporation. She was married to Russell Rooks who was also an officer, employee and major stockholder of Avon Corporation. Ms. Davis had become very close friends with Mr. George B. Storer, officer and major stockholder of the Storer Broadcasting Corporation of New York City. Mr. Storer had been coming to Saratoga for a number of years to enjoy its excellent conditions for fishing and golfing. In the 1960's Mr. Storer bought land in Saratoga and erected a golfing and fishing resort known then and now as The Old Baldy Club. Ms. Davis came to Saratoga as a guest of Mr. Storer in the 1960's to view the project. She shortly thereafter became a land owner and charter member of the club.
