One of the most stunning results was the sale of a historic, beautifully restored Arnott's biscuit lorry, which went under the hammer for $51,000.
The bright red horse-drawn vehicle was sold to a local collector.
The auction comprised of the late Mr Keir's collection of 50 historic horse-drawn carriages as well as farm machinery and vehicles and horse-drawn accessories.
One of the most hotly contested items was his ACT number plate with just two numbers - 54.
It was passed in at $210,000, with Mr Keir's family deciding to hang on to it for a bit longer.
The number plate was on Mr Keir's 1968 Ford F30 which was also passed in, at $26,000.
Some of the gorgeous horse-drawn carriages were sold for some big prices.
A Prices Bakery delivery vehicle sold for $20,000.
A Dairy Farmers milk cart sold for $11,000.
And a Collins Pie cart sold for $4500.
A beautifully decorated fruit and vegetable delivery cart was sold for $8000.
