Highlights from the collection include a wonderfully restored Buffalo Bennett Model 766 Gas Pump from the 1940s-’50s and a restored Hershey’s Ice Cream Double-Sided Embossed Porcelain Sign, one of three separate lots to wear the iconic chocolate brand’s livery. With several lubesters, Shell station rocker chairs, a 1940s popcorn warmer and more, the collection has plenty on tap to get folks revved up in Harrisburg. However, it’s worth noting that it’s only a small slice of the Rusted Restoration Collection pie, as enthusiasts should keep an eye out for a much larger selection in Kissimmee this coming January.

Rockabilly Auctions presents the Karlocks Museum Sale
2024-08-19 - 2024-08-20 | NV
Jackie and Steve Karlock had a spectacular collection of cars and memorabilia covering music, gas and oil, food services, and much more. Moving from Ventura County, California to Hannibal, Missouri some time back, they established a couple of museums and restored and lived in a historical home. They even had a museum dedicated to hauntings. Literally, ghosts and goblins.
After their passing in 2021, interestingly something like a month apart, the Karlock Family Trust and the City of Hannibal in Missouri worked to find a buyer for the home and the museums, but it appears as though only the house gained a new owner. Sadly, the museums had to be closed up, but not all is lost, as Rockabilly Auctions of Hartwell, Georgia has been enlisted to help find new caretakers for the pieces. The sale will take place August 22 thru 24 – just a few days from now – both in person and online.
Take a peek below at some of the items coming on offer, and register to bid here. To sell the cars, Rockabilly Auctions has partnered with Hagerty Marketplace, you can see them here. Some of the items crossing the block are truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, so don’t miss out. See ya there!

Morphy's Auction
2024-08-29 - 2024-10-06 | NV
Packed with stunning original signs, neons, gas station equipment, F&B memorabilia, and more, Morphy’s October 6, 2024 sale should prove to be a terrific event. When I first saw the catalogue, I was slack-jawed by so many exceedingly rare and unique items on offer – items like a pig sandwich neon sign, which has an astonishing Texas backstory that paved the way for the likes of McDonald’s; then there’s the Texas Pacific Gasoline and Motor Oil porcelain sign – simply put, I’ve never seen one. I’d heard of TexPac, but never have seen a sign; a 1940s Glo-Dial neon clock from Los Angeles reading “Garage Towing” has caught my fancy in a big way; and, of course, among the seemingly millions of other amazing items, there’s a great double-sided porcelain “Fiat Service” sign that’s screaming to come home with me. Years ago, driving past an antique shop in the middle of the night, they had a similar sign on display, but it was in Italian. I called on it the next day, the price was nearly $600, if I remember correctly, way out of my league, I didn’t need it that badly. I do wish I’d bit the bullet and bought it, forcing us to live on ramen for a few months. It was a neat sign that the guy on the phone said was an original from the 1950s, but he knew nothing of how it got to SoCal. And now there’s this one. Take a peek, see what catches your fancy. Register to bid, you can begin online. You know, going through these catalogues reminds me of being a kid thumbing through the Sears Christmas catalogue. Hey – y’know – the holidays are coming… good excuse to go shopping, right? See ya there.

Richmond Auctions’ Three-Day Sale
2024-09-19 - 2024-09-21 | NV
Richmond Auctions will bring the Barkheimer Collection and “The Nines” to market September 19 thru 21. Packed with a variety of original advertising and promotional pieces from the gas & oil, food & beverage, and auto industries ranging from pumps to globes to neons to porcelain and various other needful things. One item of particular interest is an obscure Sterling Ignition Cable sign. A quick search online shows a number of modern Sterling spark plug wires, but finding much information about the company will take more than a search engine sweep. But, this sign is comprised of etched glass with a metal can and a blue neon surround. Showing some wear, the neon is said to work fine – all in all, the look and mystique of a company we know nothing about is luring us in. Check it out here. Another interesting piece is a “Watch Out for Children” cloth banner. Showing great graphics, the single-sided cloth has tiny holes in the field, but otherwise seems to be in remarkable condition. While it seems rather pedestrian, no pun intended, to get excited over a cloth banner, the fact of the matter is, these and paper products are very hard to find. Most were simply used up and discarded – or even just discarded. Thus, very few remain. They’re not getting easier to find, and experts agree, the value will continue to quietly climb on these beautiful pieces. See this one here. Meanwhile, learn more about the whole sale here.

MECUM Las Vegas
2024-10-17 - 2024-10-19 | Las Vegas Convention Center, Central Hall, 3150 Paradise Road, Las Vegas, NV, 89109, United States
Mecum is massive to say the least. They sell thousands of cars per year; we all know this. But, they also sell an inordinate amount of automobilia and petroliana – what they call Road Art. In fact, they sell so much of it that they have a dedicated division within the company to handle the curating, cataloguing, transportation and sale of Road Art. It’s a lot of work, a huge undertaking to organize the sale of these pieces of automobilia and petroliana, especially considering everything else going on under the Mecum roof. Similarly, is their On Time division. Think of eBay but for car fanatics. That’s kind of a broad stroke snapshot of what On Time is all about – an online sale of collectibles such as diecast cars, hood ornaments, car parts, tether cars, gas station service attendant uniforms and ephemera, specialty bicycles, bubble gum machines, jukeboxes, tools, garage equipment – etc. While they won’t sell just anything, they will handle all the bits and pieces related to a collection. The idea is that Mecum becomes a one-stop shop. Sell your entire collection through Mecum – the cars, the collectibles, the Road Art. Everything. Take a look at their upcoming sales below – there’s a lot to be had – and if you’re looking to trim the sails, thin the herd, whatever – give them a call. Enjoy!
