July Advertising Highlights
At Auction: July 17

The Advertising segment of the July Auction leads off with a few strong beer signs-a Vitrolite for Hudepohl and a Robt. Smith Ale tin sign, both in remarkable condition! A few gas pumps and two nice street rods soon follow.
 
Then the soda starts flowing with Coke trucks and a few very strong condition tip and serving trays. Cardboard posters are sure to catch eyes and bidder interests, again due to super graphics and condition.
 
Porcelain highlights are led by a scarce large Finck’s Overall’s with pig, Lawrence Paints with tiger, Mayo’s Plug with rooster, and strongly curved Campbell’s Soup, all classic signs and tough to find anytime, especially in these high states of preservation.
 
For larger areas, we are happy to offer a variety of outdoor porcelain neon and electric signs that certainly evoke the street scene of the 20s to 60s. And sandwiched in the middle of the advertising offerings are two stars of the show. Both are stunning, rare, vibrant, and certainly exemplify the best of their kind- a 1905 tin litho Smith’s Kidney Pills sign and a 1908 cardboard sign. Both items turned up only in the last few years. They make a compelling pair for any collector to consider.
 
I hope you all enjoy these offerings and wish you all the luck and good bidding in your quests to expand and build a collection you enjoy! Many other fine offerings exist in our July sale that I have not even mentioned here.
