These are the most expensive items at the Roadside America auctions (so far)
Updated Jan 22, 2021;
With just over one day left in the Roadside America online auction, many of the antiques, collectibles and hand-crafted models from the attraction are racking up quite a number of bids - and some will be fetching impressive prices.
The collection went up for bid after the owners of Roadside America announced the destination was closing in November. The items on display - the majority of them hand-crafted by Laurence Gieringer over a span of several decades - were then listed by Renaissance Auction Group.

More than one-thousand Pennsylvania National guard troops have also been sent to Washington D.C. to provide security at the Capitol during President-elect Joe Biden s Inauguration.
