For generations, Hillcroft in Fieldale, Virginia, served as home to the King and Edgerton families and housed one of the region’s most remarkable private collections. This online auction offers a rare opportunity to acquire items from the estate of Dr. Mervyn King, a lifelong collector whose passion for history, antiques, toys, trains, tools, locks, and Americana resulted in an extraordinary collection assembled over more than six decades. Portions of the King Collection have recently been preserved and displayed through the Martinsville-Henry County Museum, where a major expansion was completed to showcase many of the family’s treasures. While some pieces found a permanent home in the museum, this auction presents hundreds of items remaining from the Hillcroft estate, including antique and vintage toys, railroad and train collectibles, unusual antiques, early locks and keys, tools, household furnishings, decorative accessories, advertising items, collectibles, and much more. Whether you are a serious collector, dealer, historian, or simply enjoy discovering unique treasures, this auction offers an exceptional selection from a home filled with history, craftsmanship, and decades of careful collecting. Bid early, bid often, and enjoy exploring the contents of the historic Hillcroft Estate.
