Schweikher House

Celebrate the start of summer with blooming peonies at the Schweikher House on Saturday, May 30th, from 1pm to 4pm. Support our fundraiser while enjoying the 35+ varieties of blooming peonies. There will be plenty of food, drinks and music while enjoying the house and grounds.
Our celebration falls on Dr. Alex Langsdorf's birthday this year. We'll have photos and anecdotes of Alex scattered throughout house and studio to honor the amazing father, scientist and caretaker he was. From building several of the earliest particle accelerator cyclotrons in the late 1930s to serving on the District 211 school board in 1971 to shoveling several feet of snow at the Schweikher House during the blizzard of 1979, Alex was an amazing human.
Your ticket supports our growing programs such as guided tours, lectures and our very popular salon concerts as well as the maintenance of our growing collection onsite. Your donations and attendance also helps us grow our team, acquire additional Martyl paintings and Schweikher ephemera to enhance our onsite exhibits.
The Schweikher House was built in 1938 as Modernist architect Paul Schweikher’s home and studio. The property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, a local Schaumburg landmark, the AIA Illinois top 200 architectural sites in Illinois, a longstanding member of Docomomo Chicago and a member of Iconic Houses.
If you're unavailable to join us at the Peony Party, please consider making a donation to the Schweikher House Preservation Trust. Thank you for your support!
<h3>A big THANK YOU to our generous sponsors:&nbsp;Schaumburg Bank &amp;&nbsp;Trust and the Schaumburg Park District.</h3>
<h3>Please consider them for your business and activities!</h3>

From Trench Warfare to Master-Crafted Steel: The Ultimate Firearms &amp; Blades Showcase

The catalog is anchored by a heavy-hitting selection of military surplus and precision rifles, including the matching-number Yugoslavian Zastava M48A, FN Commercial Sporterized Mausers, and the classic M1 Carbine. Shotgun collectors will find everything from the rare, recoil-reducing Browning Japan 12-gauge to 1920s-era American Gun Company "Trade Brand" single-shots. For the blade enthusiast, we are proud to offer a spectacular collection of mint Randall Made knives—true legends of American craftsmanship. This lineup features the formidable Model 12-11 Confederate Bowie, the specialized Model 17 Astro Survival knife, and the classic Model 14 Attack, many featuring pristine stag handles and original sheaths. Those focused on modern utility will also find an impressive array for the concealed carry collector, including Sig Romeo red dot optics and a massive inventory of specialty defense rounds like .45 ACP +P Underwood and .38 Special LRN. Whether you are hunting for a Birmingham-made Parker-Hale Enfield or a high-capacity magazine grouping for a tactical sidearm, the breadth of gear available here is unmatched.
These items represent a time when tools were built to last lifetimes. There is a visceral thrill in Chasing History—finding a 1918 Amberg GEW 98 that still bears the flaming bomb of the U.S. Army Ordnance Department, or feeling the perfect balance of a hand-fitted Randall Arkansas Toothpick. As Auctioneers of antiques. Collectors of cool. Veterans of vintage, we understand that these aren’t just lots; they are tangible connections to the marksmen, soldiers, and craftsmen who came before us.

We are always seeking quality consignments for our upcoming sales. Please send photos of your items to consign@donleyauctions.com. Then we'll make your collection "fit in your wallet."
Preview is Friday before the auction - noon-7pm, and doors open at 8am the day of the auction.&nbsp;
Pickup is immediately following the auction or by appointment. Please call 815-923-7000 to schedule. All purchasers of firearms that will be picking up at the auction hall, must fill out a Form 4473 and wait the allotted time before their firearm is eligible for pick up.
