🚨 AUCTION SNEAK PEEK! 🚨

We are incredibly honored and humbled to have been entrusted with the lifetime collection of the late Kenneth McCoy of Blacksburg, Virginia. Mr. McCoy was a dedicated, lifelong funeral director in Montgomery County, and his passion for collecting resulted in an absolutely extraordinary assemblage of history!

We are just beginning the cataloging process, but we couldn't wait to give you a first look. This massive collection includes:
⚱️ Rare funeral home memorabilia & historical artifacts
🚨 Vintage emergency vehicle lighting & equipment
🚗 A massive, unique collection of license plates and license plate toppers

Because this collection is so extensive, it will likely be broken down into 2 or 3 asset-specific auctions over the coming months.

🎥 Watch the sneak peek video below.

We also have to give a major shoutout to Steph Reschka, Dessert Bar for the incredible catering—those cheddar biscuits were absolutely on point! 🥐🔥
