NYC’s famous Friars Club got the ax — and some of the relics are being auctioned at a hefty price tag

Friars under the hammer

The onetime glorious famous Friars Club forever celebrated our 4-star big-time all-time A1 show business names: George Burns, Henny Youngman, Jackie Gleason, Don Rickles, Martin and Lewis, Joey Adams, Abbott and Costello, Bob Hope, Cary Grant, Larry King, Milton Berle, Jan Murray, George Jessel, Frank Sinatra — and a ton of others stamped US Prime.

Their club? A now shut, padlocked townhouse that was up for sale on 55th Street. Why? Bad manicures. Certain fingers collected certain things.

Mementos up for grabs all were taken at public tributes to the celebrity stars, like Sinatra. A bronze bust of him, at ­10-by-10-by-18 ¹/₂ inches. Sinatra served years as abbot of the Friars Club. Dated 1946, it includes a flyer showing it was displayed in the club’s Frank Sinatra Room. Estimate $4,000 to $6,000.
