The auction that Knott's Berry Farm is holding of various historic memorabilia will take place on March 31st at the theme park.  As anticipated, the company holding the auction, Heritage Auctions, has put up a detailed catalogue of all the lots (227 to be exact), and they're all available on their website.  Also as anticipated, there is some really awesome stuff listed, things that fans of the park will drool over, and even items that a casual observer would find neat.  For instance, there are several ride attractions posters (like the Calico Mine Ride one, above) that would look great in any home or office!

Knott's Berry Farm has plenty of history, and that does of course include rides.  There are several lots dedicated to the famous Bear-y Tales dark ride, like these original binders with notes and photos on the ride.  There are also a few figures from the actual ride, original drawings, car vehicle plates and more.

The park even has some blueprints up for auction.  There is one lot that contains detailed plans for both Rip Tide (a top spin flat ride) and Pacific Spin (a Tornado water slide) that have both been retired.  The lot also comes with a print of the water park's original concept art, and who doesn't love concept art!

While you may think this creepy image is something from Halloween Haunt, it is actually a lot of figure heads from the recently renovated Timber Mountain Log Ride.  Right now the bid for these 9 handsome men is only $200!

Speaking of Halloween Haunt, or Knott's Scary Farm, the auction has not left it out to dry.  There are plenty of props, signs, and other items up for bid.  Above is the pretty famous gargoyle figure that was used in a couple of famous mazes, now looking for a new home.

If you want to see more, check your bank balance first (because online bidding is allowed) and then head over and browse the full catalogue.
