There is a huge auction of George Preston’s collection of antiques & Lincoln Highway memorabilia in Belle Plaine, Ia. today 8-11-2012.
I was surprised that there is almost no mention of it that I could find anywhere on the internet!

Oh, I guess I missed it because I just found your blog on the same day that I sent you the message. The weather was great so there was a great turnout here and it was a good sale.
