Marathon Best in the Long Run Porcelain Diecut Neon Sign, estimated at $10,000-15,000.

Denver, PA (PRWEB) August 29, 2017 -- Morphy Auctions, the finest auction destination for fresh to the market collections, is excited to announce this 460-lot sale to be held on Monday, October 2, 2017. Bidding starts promptly at 9:00am, east coast time. Morphy’s is internationally recognized for its leadership in automobilia and petroliana and holds several sales records within these important categories. All lots from this October event are on display in Morphy's Denver auction gallery and are available for preview now.

This sale offers automobilia and petroliana enthusiasts so many great collection opportunities at a full spectrum of price points. I find the Marathon Best in the Long Run porcelain diecut neon sign particularly intriguing. - Dan Morphy, President

It’s signed, sealed, and delivered with this sale's sections of outstanding vintage and antique signage. Things are twice as nice with a number of spectacular double sided porcelain signs. Lot #279, a red, white, and black Frontier "Rarin'-to-Go" keyhole identification sign with very good color and gloss features a man riding a bucking bronco. It is marked “Ing-Rich Tulsa” and is estimated at $7,500-15,000. Lot #112, a round Mustang Oil sign also features a handsome horse on an orange and teal background and is estimated at $6,000-8,000. It’s the dawn of a new day with lot #192, a Sunray D-X Petroleum Products diecut sign. It is decorated with a rising sun and is estimated at $4,000-6,000. And lot #116, a rare size Republic shield-shaped sign marked “Ing-Rich Beaverfalls, PA” is estimated at $3,000-6,000. Our experts have never seen this sign in this oversized version before.

This sale’s selection of singled sided porcelain signs is also one in a million. Standing head and shoulders among the competition in this category is lot #81, a Hood Tires Flagman six-foot-tall sign with very nice color and gloss. It is estimated at $6,000-9,000. Lot #83, a Wyeth Tires sign featuring a little boy sitting in a pile of tires, is marked “Burdick” and is estimated at $10,000-20,000. Moving right along, all eyes will be on lot #272, an International Harvester Trucks Tractors Farm Equipment sign, estimated at $6,000-9,000. Marked “Walker & Co.”, it consists of two singled sided diecut signs mounted back-to-back with a thin can and is mounted under a lighted hood. And lot #273, a Husky Dogs diecut sign made from two singled sided multi-piece signs mounted back-to-back with a small original can, is marked “Texlite” and estimated at $10,000-20,000.

Signage featuring neon or neon components are another bright spot in this sale. Lot #117, a Marathon Best in the Long Run diecut sign with excellent gloss and color is certain to medal with its $10,000-15,000 estimate. This is a rare sign that was made for neon and went on the top of Marathon stations. And bird’s the word with lot #411, a Case/Old Abe sign featuring a globe and proud eagle. This sign is made from two diecut neon signs mounted on a can; both sides have excellent gloss and color. It is estimated at $10,000-15,000.    

It’s time to focus on this auction’s comprehensive selections of museum quality globes and lenses. Two single globe lens examples from Gilmore featuring the company’s famous lion logo are the kings of this category. The first is lot #58, a Gilmore Red Lion plus Tetraethyl lens, estimated at $10,000-20,000. And the second is lot #59, a Roar with Gilmore single globe lens, estimated at $8,000-12,000. Both are in excellent condition and are housed in new HP metal globe bodies. Lot #430, a pair of Husky Hi-Power globe lenses featuring a blue and white dog in a new LP metal globe body, is another top dog highlight and is estimated at $3,000-6,000. And lot #290, a Dixie Gasoline Knock-Out keyhole globe is estimated at $7,000-12,000; this fantastic blue and yellow oval example retains its original Cincinnati Advertising Company decal.

This comprehensive sale rounds out with a fifth gear selection of other transportation related collectibles, including posters and prints, thermometers, oil cans, pumps, displays, and other rare ephemera - including lot #85, a Republic Staggard Tread Tires poster, estimated at $10,000-20,000. This visually stunning piece captures the iconic image of two early cars meeting on a narrow road. Also worthy of a double take is lot #441, a Canadian Double Ten Gallon visible gas pump complete with two triple etched glass cylinders and its original brass nozzles and handles, estimated at $10,000-15,000.

According to Dan Morphy, President of Morphy Auctions, “I’m particularly excited about this upcoming gas and oil sales event. Fall is a great time to visit the Lancaster, PA area, and the timing of this auction could not be better for a long weekend’s trip to one of the nation’s most famous antiquing regions! This one-day sale offers automobilia and petroliana enthusiasts so many great collection opportunities at a full spectrum of price points. I find the Marathon Best in the Long Run porcelain diecut neon sign particularly intriguing. They are seldom if ever seen on the secondary market, especially in such nice condition! We welcome you to visit our gallery in Denver, PA to view these outstanding items firsthand, or of course check them out online anytime at http://www.morphyauctions.com. ”
