500+ Lots. Items will be added regularly 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. Well, good things come to those who wait, and that 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 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 people around the world who consider themselves part of the Roadside America family.
Memories and mementos are what we have left. May they evoke fond thoughts of Roadside America for many years to come.
