Lifetime Collection of Marshall Futhey & Family

7 Generations in the Making

For decades, Marshall L. Futhey, a well-known name in Rose Hill, was behind the wheel of a tractor in the Fall Festival Parade with his family, working the wheat harvest alongside his son Gail, and quietly building one of the most impressive collections in the region. A Rose Hill native born in 1922, Marshall spent a lifetime holding on to what the world was leaving behind: a collection his son Gail carried forward after him. Now, that lifetime of passion is being made available to collectors and enthusiasts nationwide. These auctions will feature anywhere from 200 to 800 lots spanning American rural and agricultural history, including antique tractors, vintage trucks, a Model T, gas pumps, antique signage, vintage oil cans, corn shuckers, and an extraordinary run of every Kansas license plate from the 1920s to 2023. These aren't just objects; they're a record of a life well-lived, and this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of it.
