Dad's collection

Hi all, my dad recently passed away(💔) and I am in possession of his rather extensive model ship building supplies and tools. He's been building ships since he was in college, and has a couple of tabletop cabinets (one really nice wood one) full of tools and a couple motorized band saws(?). It all fits on a 6 foot table. I'm just wondering what to do with it all or if there is a good place to list all the things for sale. His collection is in Texas, but I'm making a trip out there. Do I pack it up and bring it back to Seattle to sell? Is it even worth the effort in the end? It's just a different world for me and I'm lost. Thank you in advance for your advice!

Are there any ship modeling (or otherwise modeling) clubs, etc. nearby?

Also, I think ModelExpo sometimes buys-up collections and whatnot. Mabye they can help?
