The diner chain started in Dallas in 1921, with the first Pig Stand in San Antonio opening later that year.This little piggy looks like Elvis. This little piggy has wings. This little piggy greets diners. This little piggy holds coins. And almost all these little piggies need a new home.
Bidders can vie for more than 100 piggy collectibles of all shapes, sizes and materials, along with Pig Stand T-shirts and dozens of framed and large-scale vintage photographs of classic Pig Stands through the ages.Pig figurines sit on a shelf behind the counter at the former Pig Stand. The diner closed March 12 after many decades on Broadway. The restaurant will hold an auction Saturday to benefit former employees.
One is a silver pig given to her by a security guard at the nearby San Antonio Museum of Art, a regular who sat in the same front booth every day for roughly 30 years. Another is a pricey pig-shaped candleholder mailed to Hill from Ireland with specific instructions to keep it in her home.
