We’re almost there! Railroad Memories auction ends Fri., Aug. 26

If your passion is railroad memorabilia, you won’t want to miss the Railroad Memories Auction Catalog #80: Bidding ends this Friday, Aug. 26, at 5 p.m. Mountain Time.

As usual, there is a slew of great stuff, with plenty of crossover pieces – silver, china, advertising and decorative items – even keys, locks and other hardware – if trains specifically aren’t your main interest. Amateur genealogists with an ancestor who worked on a railroad are bound to find something the whole family will cherish.

Railroad Memories is based in Denver, where railroadiana collecting is serious business, and the current auction doesn’t disappoint. Since I collect the “Pathfinder of the San Juans,” Colorado railroad builder Otto Mears, I was delighted to find a 1901 Silverton Railroad Co. pass with Mears’ printed signature (lot 496).

I asked Railroad Memories owner Susan Knous what she considers the auction highlights. Susan noted:

• Miniature telegraph equipment (lots 26 and 27) given away as retirement gifts.
• Cap badges, including a rare New York & Harlem brakeman’s badge (lot 46) from one of the first railroads in the United States.
• Locomotive builders’ plates, including an American Locomotive Works plate from the Denver & Rio Grande (lot 113).
• Dining car china, including an Illinois Central New Orleans French Quarter service plate (lot 171) and a George Washington service plate (lot 148)
• Glassware, including an early Santa Fe banner-pattern glass (lot 199).
• Silver, including a Denver & Rio Grande Western sugar bowl (lot 213) and Great Northern Railway medallion soup tureen (lot 215).
• Express items, including rare wax Wells Fargo & Co. sealers (lot 257) from Pring, Colo., as well as early (1869) Athens & Pomeroy/Athens & Logan United States Mail Stage Coach Lines pass (lot 250) and a Canadian National Express badge (lot 251).
• Among the 96 rare keys in the sale are ones from the Boyne City Gaylord & Alpena Railroad (lot 264) and one from the Burlington Cedar Rapids & Northern (lot 265).
• Lanterns include a rare Colorado Springs & Cripple Creek District lantern (lot 384); an early 1870s CSS & AL Baron lantern (lot 385); and a brass top Fitchburg with a clear cast globe (lot 395).
• There are 40 lock, many with keys, including A rare Canadian Northern Ontario six-lever (lot 431); a Great Northern fancy back (lot 438); a Missouri Pacific Railway Keen Kutter dated 1923 (lot 444); an Oregon Short Line Switch (lot 450); and a Union Pacific System “Overland Route” lock with a steel key (lot 464).
• The nice selection of passes includes an 1893 Colorado Midland “Santa Fé Route” pass (lot 471); an 1897 Manitou & Pike’s Peak Railway “Cog Wheel Route” pass (lot 484); and an 1888 Utah Central pass (lot 503).
• For the ephemera collector, there are lots of paper items, including souvenir playing cards, a large postcard collection and breakfast menu for the Rio Grande “Special Train … Thru the Rockies” taking President Harry Truman from Denver to Ogden, Utah, on Sept. 20 to 21, 1948, signed by Truman (lot 531).

You have to register to bid, so get right on it if you haven’t already. See all the lots at Railroadmemories.com.

‘Travel by train’ this Father’s Day: Railroad Memories auction ends Fri., May 13

Railroadiana enthusiasts; amateur genealogists; regional historians; china, glass and silver collectors; man-cave decorators – check out the current auction at premier railroad memorabilia dealer in and authority on Denver-based Railroad Memories (www.RailroadMemories.com). It closes Fri., May 13, at 5 p.m. Mountain Time (7 p.m. EST, 4 p.m. PST) – just in time to receive and gift wrap for Dad or Granddad for Father’s Day.

As usual, by subscribing to Railroad Memories auctions (cost: $45, or $65 if you are outside the U.S.), you are exempt from the 10 percent buyer’s premium and receive four beautiful auction catalogs annually – great reference material for collectors.

The current auction (number 79) features more than 500 lots, in categories ranging from advertising to playing cards, and in a wide range of minimum bids.
No matter what collecting “line” you ride, you’re bound to find something of interest. For example:

• For advertising, neon and clock collectors: Lot 4, a 1930s “Travel by Train” neon advertising depot clock manufactured by Glo-Dial. The fully restored clock measures 22 inches in diameter with black enameled metal case and white letters on the dial. This is only the second such clock that Railroad Memories has offered; the last one went for more than $4,000. (The winning bidder has to either pick up or pay for professional crating, due to the fragility of the neon tubes.) Minimum bid $1,500.

• For tobacciana and china collectors: Lot 154, a Chesapeake & Ohio Lines china silhouette ashtray, side marked and manufactured by Buffalo. Light wear but in good condition. MB $25.

• For barware and advertising collectors: Lot 11, two Rio Grande highball glasses with “Mainline Thru the Rockies” logo on one side and “Rio Grande the Action Railroad” on the other in orange enamel. Each measures 3.5 inches across the top and stands 4.5 inches tall. MB $10.

• For silver and salt-and-pepper-shaker collectors (Don’t laugh: The latter abound): Lot 254, Southern Pacific silver salt and pepper shakers with the Daylight winged logo on sides. Manufactured by International Silver and both bottom-stamped “Southern Pacific.” MB $200.

• For art deco, game and playing-card collectors: Lot 508, mint-sealed Santa Fe line Congress playing cards showing the business end of a classic streamline engine on a blue background with yellow border. MB $5.

• For patent collectors and “urban archaeologists”: Lot 136, what appears to be a late 1800s miniature patent model Pullman window, with etched glass and housed in a wooden box. It’s 22.5 inches tall by 11.5 inches wide. The window slides up and down, and there’s a locking mechanism. The trim on the top is loose. MB $250.

Those are just some of my personal favorites. I asked Railroad Memories owner Susan Knous what she considered auction highlights. She mentioned the neon clock and the Pullman window patent example (“One of my favorites,” she said, noting, “Cool pieces like this just make my job so fun.”) as well a rare Virginia & Truckee lantern (lot 410, MB $1,200), an Illinois Central French Quarter service plate (lot 178, MB $200), a Pacific Express six-lever padlock with working key (lot 432, MB $1,000) and a Pennsylvania Railroad silver menu holder (lot 245, MB $200).

If you’re gift shopping for a railroad buff, but aren’t sure what to get, an annual catalog/auction subscription is a great idea; if spot the perfect gift among the lots, don’t wait to register for this auction, which closes Fri., May 13, at 5 p.m. Mountain Time. Visit www.RailroadMemories.com to see the goods and get on board.

Collector alert: Railroad Memories auction ends Fri., Oct. 8

You need a ‘ticket to ride’: Register now!

Serious collectors, whatever their areas of interest, know that the best places to find scarce items are smaller venues: out-of-the-way shops and flea markets and specialty auctions. Go the extra mile, dig a little deeper, peruse entire auction catalogs, whether printed or online, and experiment with your key-word searches: You’re bound to be rewarded with buried treasure where your rivals didn’t think to look.

It’s another reason why I urge readers to check out the current auction at Denver-based Railroad Memories (www.RailroadMemories.com), which closes Fri., Oct. 8, at 5 p.m. Mountain Time (7 p.m. EST, 4 p.m. PST). Even if the Age of Steam doesn’t get your pistons pumping, and your idea of rail travel is riding the shuttle between terminals at Sea-Tac Airport, you may well spot a unique piece to give as a holiday gift – an accent for your friend’s office, perhaps, or your significant other’s man cave or powder room – or to add color to your own living or work space. I guarantee you, smart professional decorators watch auctions like this.

There are about 500 lots in this auction, plenty of which have low minimum bids; but you have to register to participate, so don’t dicker. After a quick perusal, I noted some of the collecting categories represented:

Of course, there’s good old-fashioned railroad memorabilia for train enthusiasts as well, all described by an expert. Railroad Memories owner and appraiser Susan Knous and her late husband Bill authored “Railroadiana: The Official Price Guide for the Year 2000 and Beyond,” now out of print. “I am proud to say we sold 7,000 copies,” Susan told me. “It is still available from Amazon and many of the other used-book dealers, often selling for a ridiculous premium. However, if you watch eBay or even some of the dealers’ sites, you can still find it fairly affordable.”

I encourage people to join the hobbyist organizations. The Railroadiana Collectors Association, Incorporated (RCAI, at www.railroadcollectors.org) is a great start. The Web site is very well done and is a great resource for anyone interested in getting started in the hobby.

AC: Is it my imagination or are there very few dealers – and fewer auctions – specializing in railroad items?

Susan: You are right that there are only a few companies that specialize in railroad collectibles. Many would suggest that there are just not enough railroad artifacts that have survived to be able to spread the wealth. My thought is if you are in the collector’s circles, the antiques are still available.

It is the specialization and the lack of overall knowledge of railroad collectibles that probably limit the amount of companies involved. Railroad Memories has built a strong reputation for honesty, integrity and unparalleled customer service, coupled with extensive knowledge derived from handling amazingly rare items over the years.

AC: How did you and your husband get involved in railroad memorabilia?

Susan: This starts as a hobby for many but turned into a full-time business for my late husband and me. He was the consummate entrepreneur. He always loved trains growing up, and my grandfather was an executive with the Denver & Rio Grande, so I had the love of trains in my family.

We took a road trip one day up to Georgetown, Colo., to ride the Loop Railroad and, walking around town, saw a small shop for rent. We discussed plans all the way home, made a few calls and within a week had rented the storefront. Our thought was that a shop devoted to railroad artifacts would be fun in a small mountain town.

We did our first auction in 1987 after meeting a gentleman with a large collection he needed to sell. Needless to say, this was the beginning of what would become a successful full-time business. It is due to our experience in handling literally thousands of different pieces of railroad antiques over 25 years that we have been able to amass not only a large photographic library but also the knowledge to write the price guides.

We were partners in everything we did and had 33 wonderful years together and three beautiful children. Continuing to build the business we began together is my way of keeping his memory alive.

Next stop: Nostalgia City!

Railroad Memories auction on Fri., Oct. 8, is loaded with great finds – from hardware to china

Imagine: A mere century ago most people went from town to town or from state to state by rail, and virtually all goods – from raw materials, farm produce and livestock to every conceivable kind of finished merchandise and even the mail – were at some point carried on a train …

In America in the 19th century, trains were integral to the country’s explosive growth, geographically, economically and politically: They sped the industrialization of the Northeast before the Civil War and the rise of the Midwest’s urban centers in the Gilded Age that followed. Then there were the transcontinental links through prairie and canyon that are so much a part of the romance of the Old West: These were monumental undertakings that demanded engineering genius from the planners and the toil of countless laborers of different races, homegrown and immigrant. Some of these triumphs of human endeavor had a flip side – corruption, exploitation, bigotry, violence, not to mention the displacement of Native American residents – and I can say with confidence that none of the Irish, Chinese, newly freed African-Americans and others who broke their backs laying track and digging tunnels got a fair share of the wealth once the last spike was driven in and business started booming. Such injustices are part of our heritage, and we have a duty to know of them and learn from them; but they don’t diminish the importance of railroads in our history.

Bear this in mind as we enter the second decade of the twenty-first century, when most people travel long distances by car or plane; when consumer goods are usually delivered to our doors by truck; and when more and more personal communications traverse the countryside not along paths of steel but through a series of electronic connections in that intangible void called cyberspace. Think of it, too, now that our economic vitality is flagging and our foreign debt looms large. Fewer of us may go long distances by train nowadays, but it was the railroads that first put iron and steel into America’s backbone, its commercial infrastructure; the railroads were the sinews connecting America’s sprawling expanses, the arteries that nourished its entrepreneurial muscles, carrying its workers and its travelers, its products and its news, transforming it into a living, breathing, economically agile nation. Long before cars and trucks and planes, before Wi-Fi and text messaging, it was the railroads that did all that.

That said, I want to alert collectors and early-bird holiday gift-givers alike to the latest Railroad Memories (www.railroadmemories.com) auction, which is now online and closes Fri., Oct. 8, at 5 p.m. Mountain Time (that’s 7 p.m. EST and 4 p.m. PST). There are some 500 lots with a wide selection of great items in an equally wide price range: Even if you are not a railroad enthusiast per se, there is a lot of crossover into other collecting areas – dining car china and silver, glassware, lanterns, playing cards, badges, advertising, equipment and instruments, furniture and more – so don’t wait to check it out! It’s all vintage Americana, it’s all in great condition – you’ll find no flea market junk here – and it all smacks of nostalgia!

I participated in the last auction by Railroad Memories – based in Denver, where the railroad buffs are every bit as dedicated as the ones here in the Northwest – and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience … and that’s not just because I won something I really wanted. Frankly speaking, I hate the ANGST involved in bidding in most other auction: the constant checking of how high the bidding is on an item; the conflict over whether and when to bid higher when I’ve been outbid; the clock on the auction sites ticking off the minutes and seconds remaining, which adds to the pressure; even the bending of the rules I’ve witnessed during live online bidding as an auctioneer reopened a closed lot to get a higher hammer price.

Railroad Memories is comparatively low-tech and very low-stress: You just e-mail your best bid using a simple online sheet, or you can fax or call in your bid. (As I’ve written before, this removes the awful temptation to get sucked into a bidding war, which other online auctions – from eBay on up – profit from.)

I also like the way the fact that the buyer’s premium for non-subscribing bidders is only 10 percent of the hammer price: Most auction houses charge about 20 percent. Or for $45 a year you can become a subscribing member of Railroad Memories, which means you pay NO buyer’s premium for items won, plus you receive a great catalog for each of the four annual auctions and a list of prices realized – excellent reference material for any “railroadiana” collector. The combined subscription and buyer’s premium exemption themselves are a great choice for the train lover on your holiday gift list.

“With this, our 77th issue of the auction catalog, we are proud to be offering many rare and seldom-found pieces,” Railroad Memories owner Susan Knous told me. “And the catalog has a wide, diverse selection, so that makes it even more enjoyable.”

I asked Susan about some of highlights of this auction. She noted, “One of the more unique items in this issue is a surveyor’s transit from the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad (Lot 130), patented April 30, 1901. It comes complete with a wooden tripod and the first we’ve ever had the opportunity to handle.

“Our usual assortment of quality lanterns includes one from the Florence & Cripple Creek Railroad (Lot 415), a narrow-gauge line here in Colorado that was gone by the early teens,” she continued. “The lantern has a red etched ‘F&CC’ and an extended-base globe, which is what makes this piece so desirable: Very few have survived.”

Want to add some refinement – as well as a great conversation piece – to your dinner table? “We are also proud to be offering a beautiful cut-glass water carafe from the Soo Line Railroad (Lot 285),” Susan pointed out. “This amazing and beautiful piece boasts the Soo Line banner logo. Pieces such as this are such a wonderful reminder of the beauty found on board a train in the early days.

“This auction also features many rare locks, keys, depot items and so much more, and all are sold with a full money-back guarantee for authenticity and customer satisfaction,” she added.

Reminder: Railroad Memories auction ends Friday

Having just entered my bids in Railroad Memories’ auction no. 76, which I wrote about on June 7 (“Trainspotters: Railroad Memories auction leaves the station on Friday, June 18”), I thought I’d remind my fellow railroad enthusiasts that a specialized auction like this is the ideal way to build a collection or get a unique gift for the collector in your life.

Why?

When you cruise antique malls and flea markets – not to mention the world’s biggest flea market, eBay – unless you are Johnny-on-the-spot, you are either picking through someone else’s rejects or competing against a slew of other people in search of the same thing you are. What’s more, you’ll spend a good long time picking through lots of junk to find anything good.

An auction like Railroad Memories’ not only features choice stuff, but there will be fewer bidders to go up against – and they’ll mostly be railroadiana collectors like yourself.

What’s more, in a Railroad Memories auction, you e-mail your bids using a simple online sheet, or you can fax or call in your bids: It’s not only relatively low-tech but refreshingly old-fashioned. This would seem to discourage the bidding wars that other auction houses foment through online live bidding and that many folks – myself included – truly hate: You have to fight the urge to overbid in the heat of the moment, and may even regret it when you actually win.

In my opinion, that takes a lot of the fun out of collecting.

By contrast, in a collecting field where steam power is romanticized, a Railroad Memories auction is, ironically, low-pressure. “Bidders may call to find out the current high bid only after they have placed their bids,” their Web site indicates. Among the other terms of their auction: “Highest winning bidder will be awarded the lot for 10% above the 2nd highest bid. EX: Winning bid is $50, second highest bid is $30. Winning bidder pays $33 for the lot. If the spread between the two top bids is less than 10% the winning bidder pays his full amount bid. If only one bid is received on any one lot the winning bidder pays the minimum bid only. We encourage you to bid the most you are willing to pay, this saves time and usually is the most successful.”

That last sentence is key: To me, “the most you are willing to pay” means you give it your best shot and then chill out. As I mentioned, I’ve submitted my best bids; now I’ll just wait to see what happens. Maybe they’re already too low, or maybe someone will go higher before the auction ends. But it’s strangely calming not to receive e-mails with “YOU HAVE BEEN OUTBID” in the subject box, or to feel compelled to stay up late to snipe the last highest bidder.

Anyway, as I wrote in the June 7 post, this auction also has lots of wonderful stuff for people who DON’T collect railroad memorabilia specifically: like collectors of glassware, tableware, silver, advertising, ceramics, tools and hardware, stock certificates and ephemera. (All you family genealogists: If you have railroad men among your ancestors, this auction’s for you too!) It may be too late to receive a catalog in time for the auction, but it’s a beauty, and great resource material, so consider subscribing (which will save you the 10 percent buyer’s premium if you win in an auction).

Meanwhile, Railroad Memories owner Susan Knous mentioned a few “stars” this time: “A Denver & Rio Grande brass top bell bottom lantern (lot 404) with clear cast globe – real treasure in great condition for this 1880s-era lantern: Not many of these have survived, so they are always desirable,” she explained. “We are also proud to be offering a St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba brass top bell-bottom lantern (lot 420), also with a clear cast globe: One of only a handful are known in collections today, so this one will be interesting to watch. Great Northern fans will find a Great Northern Express call card sign (lot 134), beautiful medallion silver serving pieces, porcelain signs and more.”

The auction closes on Fri., June 18, at 5 p.m. Mountain Time. Visit www.RailroadMemories.com to view the lots and register to bid.

Trainspotters: Railroad Memories auction leaves the station on Fri., June 18!

It’s here, and just in time for Father’s Day: Ol’ No. 76, billowing steam, boiler clanging and ticking, is waiting at the platform, doors open and waiting for railroad enthusiasts to climb aboard for one wild ride …

Actually, it’s the NEW No. 76 – as in Railroad Memories’  (www.RailroadMemories.com) auction no. 76, featuring a trainload of unique memorabilia in variety of categories – everything from advertising, china, silver and watches to badges, passes, stock certificates and equipment – for railroaders, collectors in other fields (regional, china, silver, signage, lanterns) – even decorators.

I last wrote about Denver-based Railroad Memories (“All aboard! Railroad Memories Auction ends Nov. 6”) back in October; the specialized auction, held quarterly, is a collector’s event. Also, unlike the high-profile, highly staffed corporate efforts that I usually profile on AmeriCollector.com, Railroad Memories auctions are held on a much smaller platform under the supervision of owner Susan Knous.

I first found Railroad Memories – which is an online railroad memorabilia shop as well – last year while tooling around the Web, looking for the elusive autograph material of Otto Mears, “Pathfinder of the San Juans” (the mountains in Colorado, not the islands in the Strait of Juan de Fuca) and builder of the Rio Grande Southern, Silverton and Silverton Northern railroads. I gave a call and found Susan to be genial, helpful and very knowledgeable; I also started watching for her auctions.

Railroad Memories issues four beautiful color catalogs annually for their auctions, which are excellent reference material for collectors, as are the prices-realized sheets that come afterward. The subscription cost is $45 within the U.S. and $60 outside the U.S., and subscribers are exempt from the 10 percent buyer’s premium that non-subscribing bidders pay.

“This issue features over 500 lots, including some very scarce and hard-to-find items,” Susan told me. “Everything sold through our company comes with a full money-back guarantee for authenticity and customer satisfaction. Simply view and bid on the lots from our Web site. Should you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to contact us.”

Just a few of what I consider to be highlights of the current auction: not one but TWO Rio Grande Southern stock certificates signed by Otto Mears (including one issued to Mears himself!); a great silver-foil-backed poster for the streamlined Burlington Zephyrs; a beautiful circular porcelain Great Northern Railway sign with mountain goat silhouette measuring two feet in diameter; a porcelain spittoon from the Pennsylvania Railroad; plenty of really nice china (including several from the Wabash Railroad); lots of some 50 pieces of dining car silver (sugar bowls, toothpick holders, teapots, you name it); lots of locks, keys and lanterns; office and rail yard equipment; books; passes; and more.

If you are or know a railroad buff – especially if you’re shopping for one this Father’s Day (an annual catalog/auction subscription makes a great gift!) – don’t miss this auction, which closes Fri., June 18, at 5 p.m. Mountain Time. Visit www.RailroadMemories.com to see the goods and register to bid.

All aboard! Railroad Memories auction ends Fri., Nov. 6

You gotta hand it to the great state of Colorado: It produces some REAL SERIOUS collectors of railroad memorabilia.

It’s not surprising: Railroads played a huge role in the state’s history, especially during that iconic and conflicted era we call the Wild West. Sure, trains were essential to the development of other, arguably tamer parts of the country: rural New York State, for example, or Ohio, or Missouri. But Coloradans rightly find deeper inspiration in the conquest of their rugged landscape by mortal men – from the financiers and surveyors and engineers to the crews that dynamited and graded, laid down ties, pounded spikes and hauled in and set the tracks (“rust eaters,” the last were called) – than, say, your average New Yorker, who much prefers to grouse about the Long Island Rail Road than reflect on it.

Anyway … I often feel that these blogs focus too much on paper collectibles than objects of daily use, so I’m happy to report that Denver-based Railroad Memories, a buyer, seller and appraiser of railroad memorabilia, is currently holding their 74th auction, which closes on Fri., Nov. 6, 2009, at 5 p.m. MST (mind those time zones, Toto, we’re not in Kansas anymore!). Railroad Memories is owned by Sue Knous, with whom I had a very pleasant conversation about railroad collectibles a few months back. While I haven’t yet purchased anything from Sue, I’ve been watching her Web site, with its wide range of railroad artifacts, and planning to get the word out when her next auction was announced.

The thing I love most about railroad collectibles is the huge crossover into other collecting areas, and this Railroad Memories auction doesn’t disappoint: While this isn’t a big, big auction – there are some 468 lots – it runs the gamut from paper ephemera (baggage tags, timetables, passes), to tableware (dining car linens, glasses, silverware, hollowware and china), to personal items (badges, pins, uniforms), to lanterns and lamp globes, to some really great locks and keys, to depot equipment like torch cans, water cans and other cool stuff.

It’s a little hard to find on the Web site, but Railroad Memories issues catalogs to auction subscribers, who pay $45 a year if they live in the U.S., $55 if they’re in Canada and $65 to the folks across the pond. When you subscribe, you receive a bidder number but pay NO BUYER’S PREMIUM if you win something. Non-subscribing winning bidders pay a 10 percent buyer’s premium, which is still pretty darn low. Either way, you should contact Railroad Memories early to get set up to bid.

With the holidays rolling around, this is a great opportunity to get something unique for that special collector in your life. Learn more and view the lots at RailroadMemories.com.
