Lunds has a rather unique item displayed in its storefront window right now.

It's a custom-made Muhammad Ali robe that Ali wore at the Rumble in the Jungle fight in Zaire :o

Is it for sale/auction?

Wiki link you cited:

The gloves and robe worn by Muhammad Ali in this fight are part of the collections of National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian Institution.[2]

If I remember correctly, the item was recently on one of the pawn / reality shows. It is a robe made for MA but he never actually wore it.

a very large collection from the late (2015) donald harvey (UVic professor) is going on auction this week.  it looks as though most are expected to fetch $200 to $1000.

Say he was Biden’s son and they’d 500x those prices.
