Orland Park man sells off decades of Chicago memorabilia
On the eve of selling part of his vast collection, Dan McLaughlin of Orland Park shows and values items tied to Chicago history from 19th century autographs to Daley era neon signs. His archive includes Kennedy letters, Daley photos, Bears and World Series mementos, and a 1800s Kinzie letter. He aims to fund deeper collecting through selective sales.
