About Us
About Roadhouse Collectable Auctions
Our aim is to be the trusted home for the selling of vintage treasures, oil related tins bottles and signs, milk bar related items, railway and militaria items and more. Based in the Illawarra, RCA brings unique items from years gone by – into the hands of collectors across the country today.
Our Story
Roadhouse Collectable Auctions (RCA) was founded by passionate collectors who seek out Australia’s most iconic petrol, milk bar, motoring, and advertising relics and more. After many years of buying, trading, and showcasing rare finds, RCA was launched to offer fellow collectors a trustworthy and efficient platform to buy and sell their own unique pieces.
What We Specialise In
We focus on original oil and petrol signs, milk bar memorabilia, garage décor such as enamel signs, tin & bottles and rare advertising pieces across various collecting areas. Every item we feature is carefully reviewed for authenticity and appeal.
Our Mission
At RCA, our mission is to connect collectors with authentic and fascinating items while ensuring transparency, fairness, and a personal approach to every transaction.
Our Values
- Integrity in every auction.
- Respect for the items that collectors are letting go of, after many years of them chasing down these items and cherishing them.
- We really understand that life’s issues can sometimes dictate the necessity to sell. It is not always because someone actually wants to sell.
- A passion for preserving Australia’s collecting culture and heritage, relating to the items that we auction.
The Collectors Room on our website was created to showcase some of the rarer collectables and to provide some of the stories behind the items. Not everyone is on social media, and we hope people share their stories to our page.
