Holabird Americana has an auction coming up in a couple of days for all you antique collectors.  Fred Holabird has been an integral part of Ironstone's Heritage Museum collection working with owner, John Kautz recommending outstanding artifacts that have fit well in our collection.

Follow the link below to take a look at some of the wonderful items coming up for auction starting October 4. 


Two interesting pieces are the railroad lamp you see here along with a very unusual tin can which looks to be totally recycled with a different brand and product on the inside walls. 

Take a look for yourself and enjoy.
