William Smith Auctions

The personal lifelong train collections of Denis Reisch and James Krakowiecki.

The collection of Denis Reisch, our long-time friend, business associate, and trusted cataloger, is being offered as he enters retirement. For more than 40 years, Denis has cataloged William Smith train auctions. This extensive collection features Lionel, American Flyer, LGB, and other large-gauge trains, locomotives, rolling stock, and accessories.

The vetted collection of James Krakowiecki is being offered in this auction.  James began collecting as a young man in New Jersey and continued collecting as he moved to Vermont and became the police chief of Thetford, VT and later as the police chief of Randolph, VT.
