After four years, we are nearing the end of the Roadside America inventory liquidation. From the beginning of the process, we wanted to schedule a holiday season Roadside America auction, but circumstances never allowed for that. Well, good things come to those who wait, and the time has finally arrived.

 

The Roadside America Auld Lang Syne Auction features Laurence Geiringer handmade items, O gauge locomotives and tenders, train cars, auto dealer promotional vehicles, cast iron toys, layout accessories, Roadside America gift and maintenance shop items, vintage ephemera and miscellaneous inventory associated with the iconic miniature village.

 

Just as the countless dreams of the expansive Roadside America family were realized over the century that the little village grew and changed, our desire to conduct a Roadside America holiday season auction will be fulfilled as well.

 

We all have one last Roadside America holiday memory to share with our family and friends as well as the millions of others around the world who consider themselves part of the Roadside America family.

 

Memories and mementos are what we have left. May they prevail for many years to come.

 

Items will be added to the auction until the catalog is complete.

After four years, we are nearing the end of the Roadside America inventory liquidation. From the beginning of the process, we wanted to schedule a holiday season Roadside America auction, but circumstances never allowed for that. Well, good things come to those who wait, and the time has finally arrived.

 

The Roadside America Auld Lang Syne Auction features Laurence Geiringer handmade items, O gauge locomotives and tenders, train cars, auto dealer promotional vehicles, cast iron toys, layout accessories, Roadside America gift and maintenance shop items, vintage ephemera and miscellaneous inventory associated with the iconic miniature village.

 

Just as the countless dreams of the expansive Roadside America family were realized over the century that the little village grew and changed, our desire to conduct a Roadside America holiday season auction will be fulfilled as well.

 

We all have one last Roadside America holiday memory to share with our family and friends as well as the millions of others around the world who consider themselves part of the Roadside America family.

 

Memories and mementos are what we have left. May they prevail for many years to come.

 

Items will be added to the auction until the catalog is complete.

After four years, we are nearing the end of the Roadside America inventory liquidation. From the beginning of the process, we wanted to schedule a holiday season Roadside America auction, but circumstances never allowed for that. Well, good things come to those who wait, and the time has finally arrived.

 

The Roadside America Auld Lang Syne Auction features Laurence Geiringer handmade items, O gauge locomotives and tenders, train cars, auto dealer promotional vehicles, cast iron toys, layout accessories, Roadside America gift and maintenance shop items, vintage ephemera and miscellaneous inventory associated with the iconic miniature village.

 

Just as the countless dreams of the expansive Roadside America family were realized over the century that the little village grew and changed, our desire to conduct a Roadside America holiday season auction will be fulfilled as well.

 

We all have one last Roadside America holiday memory to share with our family and friends as well as the millions of others around the world who consider themselves part of the Roadside America family.

 

Memories and mementos are what we have left. May they prevail for many years to come.

 

Items will be added to the auction until the catalog is complete.
