Default For Sale: Vintage Collection of Model Airplanes and Related Items

Hello, all!

My father, a longtime civilian pilot and a Navy vet (Korean War era),
has been collecting model airplanes and related items (largely but not
exclusively military) since he was a child. Over the years he's amassed
an extensive collection that includes unopened model kits, kits that
have been opened but not built, some built items, rolled plans, odds &
ends, etc. that span the timeframe from the late 1920's to around the
year 2000. The collection includes pristine editions of many model
airplane magazines that also cover the same timeframe. He gave it to me
some time ago, and it fills (and overflows) a two-car garage. I just
don't have room, and would very much like to sell it. (Dad's fine with
that; he lives here with me now and knows that space is always an
issue.) Anyone interested, or know of other avenues I might try? He has
kept a fairly accurate inventory of what he has, so I can provide that
information to interested parties if desired.

Any reasonable and helpful response will be appreciated. Thank you!
