I'm looking to donate some railroad memorabilia, pencils, etc. for Railway Express Agy. Any ideas where?

Question

I have some pencils and other memorabilia (cases, matches) with REA on it (Railway Express Agency), that were left to me by my father when he died. He worked for REA many years and retired.

Answer 2

I would recommend a local historical society or museum if there is one in your area.  Also local librarys sometimes exibit local items of interest.  You could certainly sell them on ebay or yahoo auctions for a nice price since railroad collectibles are always in demand.

Green bay wisconson has a national railway museum as well as one in colorado and california.  Just depends on what you want to do and where you are.

Answer 3

The National Railroad Museum in Wisconsin has a section dedicated to the Railway Express Agency, I am sure they would appreciate your memorabilia:
