CLEVELAND - OhioPen -- What do vintage arcade games, antique steam powered vehicles and a 19th century apothecary store have in common?

And what an eclectic collection it is. The antique steam powered fire engine is sure to be a highlight. Steam Fire Engine #496 was manufactured in 1904 by American LaFrance in Elmira, New York. It was supplied new to Greensboro, North Carolina and put into service fighting fires throughout the city. At the end of its useful life it was displayed in preservation at Frontier Land amusement park in Cherokee, North Carolina, before moving to the Town Hall Museum, Cedar Point amusement park, in the 1960s.
The collection also includes vintage Rock-Ola arcade games, a vintage replica of Captain Picard's chair from Star Trek: Next Generation, vintage live steam locomotives, antique Mutoscope Reel Company machines and many other antique fair artifacts. A fully illustrated catalogue will be available by October 25th online, at GraysAuctioneers.com. The public will be able to preview all the items in the auction in person at Gray's Cleveland gallery, starting on Thursday, November 7th. See the website for times.
