Thornhill Real Estate & Auction Company Information

Thornhill Auction Co. is a family-owned and operated business that has been in business now for 49 years! David and Dusty are 2nd and 3rd generation auctioneers specializing in selling real estate at auction. Our office is located in Lincoln County just east of Highway 61 between Troy and Moscow Mills, Missouri. The first four months of 2012 have been extremely busy in our part of the auction world. Dusty keeps saying that the rest of 2012 will be just as busy so we have much more to look forward to. We've already held 19 auctions - with three of them being 2-day auctions - while Dave & Dusty have conducted five benefit auctions. A couple of the auctions even had to be moved at the last minute because of inclement weather but along with the rains came the crowds. We've had great turnouts this year and hope to see more of you in the future. Even though we specialize in selling real estate at auction, our auctions have included many items - including coins, advertising signs, firearms, antique toys, cars, trucks, tractors and farm equipment, artwork, antiques, household and collectibles. And we have much more to come - including a framed John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address from January 20, 1961, Indian artifacts, antique stationary gas engines, a log smoke house, and a collection of 80+ push lawnmowers. We had a coin auction in February with the largest collection of gold coins that we've ever sold. With gold and silver prices as high as they have been, we had a great day. $20 gold coins - dated 1879 to 1928 - were selling anywhere between $1700 and $2000, while a 1894 Key choice AU Morgan Silver Dollar sold for $1150.
