Featuring a collection of automobiles, mechanical musical instruments and collectibles, the sale will be presented in association with Sotheby\u2019s with whom RM Auctions has collaborated in the past.
\n\u201cRM is honored to have been selected by the Milhous brothers to represent their collection at auction. I\u2019ve known Bob and Paul Milhous for many years and their museum is one of the finest private displays I have ever seen. Those that have had the privilege to tour the collection over the years can attest to its incredible significance, extraordinary quality and presentation,\u201d says Rob Myers, Chairman & Founder, RM Auctions. \u201cIt is always a pleasure to work with the Sotheby\u2019s team and we look forward to joining forces with them once again to present this magnificent collection,\u201d Myers adds.
\nDavid Redden, Vice Chairman of Sotheby\u2019s adds, \u201cPersonal, whimsical, brilliant, the Milhous Collection is a whirling circus of magical music-making machines, gleaming motor cars and the beloved paraphernalia of small town life in olden days. Who could visit this collection without being amazed, enchanted and suddenly very happy?\u201d
\nCarefully amassed over the past fifty years by brothers Bob and Paul Milhous, the Milhous Collection reflects a lifelong interest and fascination in mechanicals, from automobiles to an impressive range of mechanical musical instruments. It also reflects the brothers\u2019 collecting philosophy; items were handpicked from around the world, with an emphasis on the rarest and most desirable examples produced by the industry\u2019s most prominent names.
\nNow, after five decades of welcoming countless visitors to tour their private museum, the Milhous brothers prepare to share the joy the collection has brought them over the years with other passionate collectors. Among a long list of highlights poised for the auction podium – a superb gathering of automobiles, ranging from high-horsepower Brass era cars, coachbuilt classics and historically-significant Indianapolis racing cars, and, an unprecedented selection of mechanical musical instruments, highlighted by the world\u2019s most desirable and exceptional theatre, fair and dance organs. Collectors with a penchant for music will also be treated to one of the largest compilations of major orchestrion pieces ever to be offered at auction, joined by a world-class selection of historic music boxes.
\nThe Milhous Collection offering is rounded out by an eclectic assortment of other collectibles, ranging from ornate hall and tower clocks to such decorative art pieces as Tiffany lamps and various artworks, as well as a diverse series of petroliana, neon and porcelain signs, unique gasoline-powered tether cars and models, and a large range of firearms from the late 19th century.
