Welcome to my 124th Auction, featuring rare china, lanterns, locks, keys, depot items, passes, and more with over 500 lots offered!
This catalog includes select pieces from the estate of Paul Mathieson, a valued friend and client. Paul passed away last November. His wife Jean and daughter Cynthia shared this tribute, "Paul Mathieson wonderful Husband, Brother, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. We had years of beautiful family trips collecting railroad items along the way by car from California to Canada. He couldn’t have been loved more by his family or given more love and affection to his loved ones. He will be loved and missed forever." It is always hard to lose our loved ones but the legacy they leave lives on in the many memories we get to hold onto. I am honored to be entrusted with the sale of their collection.
When visiting Colorado, rail enthusiasts are encouraged to consider a visit to the Moffat Road Museum in Granby. Under the direction of Dave Naples, the museum has experienced significant growth and success. Recently, the museum acquired an extensive collection of lanterns, locks, keys, and other items from the estate of Marvin McCall, a retired D&RGW employee who passed away last year. The sale of these collectibles will greatly benefit the museum. For more information, please visit their website: moffatroadrailroadmuseum.org. The museum will open for the season in May.
Thank you all for your continued participation. It is because of my loyal client base that I am continually able to offer these quality collectibles.
Happy Bidding,
Sue
