Nellybelle Auction
A number of other Roy Rogers-related items have sold for large sums of money. Nellybelle, a jeep owned by Pat Brady’s character, appeared on the Roy Rogers Show. As a horse trainer and Rogers fan, Pam Weidel shelled out $116,000 to acquire the original Nellybelle.

In spite of the fact that the museum had to close, the sale appeared to be a joyful occasion. Auctioneer Cathy Elkies said that the event was “the most lively, dramatic, and nostalgic” she had ever witnessed. “Happy Trails” is said to have been sung by the crowd at the end. It’s safe to say Rogers and Evans would have agreed.
