THE SUPER AUCTION

Tipton, Michigan

The Collection of Richard Kughn

Kughn's legacy in Detroit and metro Detroit real estate stretched from renovating the historic David Whitney Jr. mansion on Woodward Avenue in what's now known as Midtown in the 1980s to assisting with the development of Riverfront Apartments alongside the late shopping mall pioneer A. Alfred Taubman.

Richard Kughn started working with the Taubman Co. in 1955 as an estimator and played a key role in its growth into a shopping mall power, with Lakeside Mall in Sterling Heights, Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi, and Fairlane Town Center in Dearborn opening during his years on board. 

He had many passions which were reflected in his numerous business, civic, philanthropic, and hobby affiliations.

'Kughn Saved Lionel'

 A toy train lover since childhood, Richard Kughn bought Lionel Trains Inc. in 1986. The longtime company was in dire financial trouble. He improved quality and marketing, propelling Lionel to its former prominence as a world leader in model-train design and manufacturing.  It was Kughn who brought the manufacturing back to Michigan from Mexico.

American Eagle Auction & Appraisal Company, headed by Hall of Fame auctioneer, Kenny Lindsay, CMA is honored to be selected to represent the Collection of Richard Kughn. 

This will be a live auction held in Tipton, Michigan on Saturday, October 8, 2022.  If you are unable to attend, you may contact us to leave bids on an absentee bidder basis.
