This job occasionally offers remarkable advantages. Our employees were given the privilege of touring the prestigious home of one of our appraisers as a learning opportunity. It was a pleasure to view the impressive collection and gain insight into his vast knowledge.

At Entrusted Auctions/Farmer Auctions, the most rewarding part of what we do is telling the stories behind the items we handle. Today, we are deeply honored to share a sneak peek of a truly lifetime collection belonging to a beloved local figure: Mr. Kenneth McCoy.

A lifelong resident of Montgomery County, a dedicated member of the local rescue squad, and the longtime owner of McCoy Funeral Home, Mr. McCoy was a familiar face, a wonderful supporter of our auctions, and a passionate historian. For over 40 years, he carefully curated an unbelievable collection of Virginia history, emergency services memorabilia, and antique funeral heirlooms.

His wife shared with us that this collection brought him immense joy throughout his entire life. Now, it’s ready for its next chapter.
Because of the sheer size and scale of this incredible archive, we will be presenting it across 2 to 3 dedicated auctions.

What’s coming up:
🔹 Hundreds of historic Virginia city, county, and porcelain license plates
🔹 Vintage sirens, emergency light bars, and Rescue Squad memorabilia
🔹 Rare funeral home advertising signs and antique equipment
🔹 Two stunning, meticulously preserved antique horse-drawn funeral carriages.

We are currently cataloging this massive piece of local history. Stay tuned for official bidding dates, and join us in celebrating the legacy of a man who loved our community so well.

This made our day. Thanks, Adam!

Today, the bustling sound of the auction block goes quiet.

At Entrusted Auctions, our daily lives are built around objects that carry stories. We hold history in our hands every day—vintage photographs, weathered journals, old uniforms, and medals tucked away safely in velvet-lined boxes. We often think about the hands that held them, the lives they built, and the families who cherished them.

But today, on Memorial Day, our thoughts turn to a different kind of story.

We remember the stories that were cut short. We honor the young men and women who left their homes, their families, and their futures behind, answering a call to service and making the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. They didn't get the chance to grow old, to watch their children grow, or to accumulate a lifetime of tangible memories.

Their legacy isn’t left behind in a collection of physical belongings. Instead, their legacy is the very fabric of the freedom we enjoy today. It’s in the quiet safety of our neighborhoods, the laughter of our families gathered together this weekend, and the liberty we so often take for granted.

As you enjoy this beautiful Monday with the people you love, we invite you to pause with us in a moment of deep gratitude. Let us remember that freedom is never free—it was paid for by brave individuals whose stories deserve to be told, remembered, and honored forever.

To all the fallen heroes, and the families who still carry their absence: We see you, we thank you, and we will never forget.

In observance of Memorial Day, our office will be closed on Monday, May 25th, so our team can spend time with their families and honor the brave individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. 🇺🇸

We will resume normal business hours on Tuesday, May 26th. Wishing everyone in our community a safe, meaningful, and reflective holiday weekend!
