A massive catalog of more than 600 such items from The Carltun at Eisenhower Park was auctioned off Wednesday as Long Islanders said their final goodbyes – and made bids for a slice of history – from the storied restaurant and catering venue. 

“It’s an iconic place,” said Gerard Trimboli, president of American Auctions Liquidations Appraisals Inc. in Commack, who served as the auctioneer. “There’s been several presidents that were entertained there. There’s been several celebrities that were entertained there. So it’s not everyday … that you run into a place like this.”
