Collectables

On display at the Riverside Red X are a lot of the elder Mr. Young's collectibles. Among them, you can find such oddities as a collection of glass eyeballs, razor blades, cork screws and law man badges. A pickled shark will also appear. Along with collecting odd things, Mr. Young had an obsession with bells. At one time before the flood of "93" Mr. Young held one of the largest private bell collections in the world (over 12,000 bells), and a portion of this collection can be viewed daily throughout the store.

In our Liquid Bronze Room, visitors can view over 50 bronze sculptures, many from the famous bronze sculptor, Fredric Remington.

One of our more famous collectibles is the double tipped sink unit from the Brittania, the sister ship of the Titanic. In April 2002, this item was borrowed to be a part of the Titanic exhibit at the Chicago Museum of History and Science.
