Welles' Oscar fetches $861,542

The new Welles Fest committee was probably not in the bidding war for the Oscar awarded to Orson Welles at the 1941 Academy Awards for his film Citizen Kane. And, even had it been, it would have fallen from the running well before the bidding reached $850,000.

But wouldn't it have been grand for the Oscar to be on display at the Woodstock Opera House or the Woodstock Public Library?
