Advertising Collection of Terry and Ralph Kovel Goes to Auction
Cleveland, Ohio (PRWEB) September 15, 2016 -- Items from the personal country store collection of antiques experts Terry and Ralph Kovel are going to auction on Saturday, September 17. The Kovels’ “country store” has served as the “anchor desk” for their TV shows, a party room, and a game room for their family. Collectors and flea market enthusiasts will find many items seen in their HGTV show, Flea Market Finds with the Kovels, and pictured in Kovels’ books and newspaper columns.
The September 17th auction includes more than 400 lots, everything from billboards and bottle caps to signs and store displays. Offered will be many recognizable non-food items like tobacco, auto, political, medical and cosmetic signs, as well as bottles, scales, display cases, fixtures, full-sized grocery store displays, war posters, and collections of keychains and labels. Highlights include a large Ayer’s Sarsaparilla poster picturing a man holding a child and the words “We Grown Strong by using Ayer’s Sarsaparilla,” and a 42-inch E-C Corn Flakes poster that says “You can’t fool the farmer.”
The live auction will be at Rachel Davis Fine Arts Auctioneers, 1301 W. 79th St., Cleveland, Ohio, 44102, RachelDavisFineArts.com, starting at 9:30 a.m. (EDT).
