To the Duellmans, anything worth doing was worth doing big. When it came to buying property, they made sure to find one that was sprawling. Instead of starting a single business, the family-operated six. When it came to having kids, they grew an entirely new family tree, and in curating an assemblage of collectible goods, the Duellmans soon built one of the world’s largest. Its immense size and variety isn’t the only thing that makes it an impressive collection to take in, however; for those passionate souls who thrive on nostalgia and will forever hold their own inner children near and dear to their hearts, the Duellmans’ museum collection of toys and trinkets of yore is quite possibly among the world’s most inspiring. Started with about 100 classic and collector cars and now teeming with tens of thousands of the vintage playthings that dance through the dreams of every tiny tot and youthful youngster ever to have lived, the Duellmans’ amazing museum collection of both cars and toys is an awe-inspiring sight to behold, and much of it will be offered for sale at an on-site auction event in Fountain City, Wisconsin, right on the bluffs overlooking the beautiful Mississippi River this September.
