wow, some nice signs.

one question... I have seen Cataloged Auctions is also advertising a March 6th Peotone Auction at noon, any relation between the two?

Just like to say thanks for keeping your buyers premium at a reasonable level... It is noticed and I will vote for this with my buying dollars.

Ray

Bryce…there's no connection between the two.
This is the Official Show Auction being promoted by Gas Guys (Kevin and Tim) and myself.

Rory

Thanks Rory... that's what I assumed. Looking forward to the auction.

the auction is still in the same location correct?

Great husky signs!

The show is still in the same location but the Show Auction will be up the road in Matteson (approximately ten minutes north) for the Spring event.

Rory

Here's some more auction highlights….
It's going to be a fun auction!
-Rory

Very nice signs!!!

sounds great , looking forward to your auction, your fall auction was very nicely done, and asset to our hobby

That Cadillac clock is a killer. If I'm correct that is made by NPI?

Hud…Thanks for the nice comments..we're just trying to create the best auction we can. Sparky…yes it's a Neon Products clock and it's in near mint condition…all original.

I just received this neon for consignment to the Peotone auction……very unusual and appears to be all original.

We're beginning our marketing campaign for this auction so if you have any pieces you would like to consign please do not hesitate to contact either myself or Dave Thompson.

Rory

Ok Rory which of these auctions will you be involved with?

http://www.auctionzip.com/Listings/2304617.html

http://www.auctionzip.com/Listings/2278467.html

I can answer. Niether one. They are the same auction. They are working together. I don't have the link but search brinkman auctions and I'm sure you'll find it.

Rory's auction is at a different location and starts at noon.

Buster there are 2 auctions see this thread.

http://www.oldgas.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=593251#Post593251

Very confusing as 2 different companies running the fairgrounds auction and Rory's at a different location.

I will be posting pictures in the next day or so of additional items recently consigned. This is shaping up to be an amazing sale. Still room for quality consignments. Call Rory at 612-581-9189 or me (Dave) at 615-210-5428.

Rory, Great Stuff!!! Cant wait for march to hurry up and get here!!!

Hey Rory
Will there be a catalog? for Peotone
Jim

What is the address of where this auction is being held? I am confused between this auction and the other auction

Auction 1 - Brinkman Auction - March 6th
Matteson, IL - 12pm (10mi from Peotone)
No Catalog or Sale Bill posted yet

Auction 2 - Kraft Auction/Catalog Auction - March 6th
Will County Fairgrounds - Peotone - 6pm
Catalog on Proxibid

hopefully more details & catalog become available soon for the Brinkman auction. Only 2-weeks away.

Gentlemen:
Dave Thompson and I are currently in the process of cataloging the collections. In my opinion it will be quite an impressive offering. Our goal with this auction and all future auctions (Columbus, Fall Peotone, etc) will be to offer approximately 200-250 select items (unless it's one large colleciton we're selling) thereby keeping the auction time limited to 4 hours or less.

Gentlemen:
I conducted my first Automobilia & Soda collectibles auction in May of 1990 and that was a No Reserve auction. Since that day forward I have always felt that auctions should be conducted Absolute, No Reserve. This philosophy has been carried forward for the last 13 years that I have been at Barrett-Jackson. In fact we just sold 2,000 items of Automobilia and Petrolinia in January all at No Reserve.

When I was asked to conduct the Columbus Auction it was very short notice so in order to be fair to the consignors I accepted just a handful of items (I believe it was five) with reserves out of 325 items offered. When Tim and Kevin asked us to put on the Fall Peotone Auction it was again short notice so we accepted 4 or five items with reserves (all announced to the crowd) with the other 245 items selling at No Reserve.

With this upcoming Peotone auction we have only accepted one item thus far which is the Packard Radiator sign lot#68 (clearly marked as a reserve item on Proxibid) and that has a reasonable reserve the rest of the items (99% ) are selling at No Reserve. I am still working on some final consignments of which one is a VERY significant piece and it also might have a reasonable reserve if it is consigned (and if so will be announced to the crowd).

While having an auction which is 98%-99% sold at No Reserve is great…our goal for Columbus will be to have ALL of the lots selling at No Reserve.

If anyone has any questions please fill free to contact me. Also we're still looking for a few more quality pieces to finish out the sale.

Regards,
Rory

That's a mans answer. Thank you.

Looks like more stuff is getting added every day.

is the hood tire flange sign in the auction rory? i do not see it in the proxibid page but see it listed earlier in this thread.
thanks

looks like everything is not cataloged yet... appears to be less than 150 items, Rory said 250 total I believe

Hello all, quick update on the auction and the recent questions. Bad news and good news....bad first, the hood flange will not be in this auction. The good news is that it will be available instead in the Columbus auction in June. A problem came up where it had to be postponed. The Peotone auction is looking incredible, we have rounded it out at right around 200 items (we would still consider a few quality consignments if you contact Rory or myself). There are some really great pieces we will be posting very soon. Am working on posting a couple photos of some of the goodies yet to come. The quality of items in this sale is amazing, many VERY clean and rare pieces will be available. We will be getting out more information very soon. Thank you all again and keep watching for updates.

posting some photos for Dave of items that will be in the auction...

Bryce, thank you for posting. Here's a sampling of some items to be added to catalog. The Kendall is double sided and in amazing original condition.

Sinclair Truck Stop is dsp and super clean. Neat, colorful thermometer.

Says 15% for internet bidders, is there a Sales Tax also like the other that adds another 7%??

Not sure Paul but will find the answer and get it posted. For clarity, you are referring to internet bidding rather than live floor bidding, correct?

one more...

Yes,internet bidding

Thank You

I have the Kendall sign. Mines not quite as nice though. Great sign.

As old as that Kendall sign is,Red paint looks new??

It is all original and truly that clean. We stand behind it 100%. Just an amazing condition sign. Few I have seen have had fading in the red.

Must be NOS,everyone I've seen the red is faded bad. Find out anything on the Tax for internet bidders??

Yes, it is really that nice. I agree, the ones I have seen all have fading in the red. If you are bidding online and item(s) is/are being shipped out of state, there is no sales tax.

One more quick update/clarification. A few of the items pictured above will be for sale but not until the Columbus auction. They include the Hood flange, the Arvin flange and the 2 Pontiac signs. There was a glitch and they had to be bumped back. All other items pictured are in this sale. Sorry for the false adrenaline rush....they will be available in June.

Catalog again updated, some more very nice items added. It's fun to see the new stuff showing up. Just one word describes the items in this sale, very clean. The auction will be held this Friday March 6th at 12:00 PM (Noon) at the Holiday Conference Center in Matteson, Illinois. Just ten minutes north of Peotone on I-57. It is a very nice facility with full restaurant and bar attached. Address is as follows:

Holiday Inn Matteson

Someone likes Husky..

It's hard not to see this as beyond ridiculous. I don't care how much money you have.
Just my opinion.

Nice sign/condition, but...

At least some other stuff went normal...But the Husky sign was pure crazy.

Both of em were...Lot #45 & #47.

sky is the limit for Graphic, Mint and Rare!!!!
Fortunately for us 99.8% of petroliana isn't so we have lots to go after....

That is correct!

I wish I hadn't bid so much on that Husky!!!!

Surprised there are no pictures!

did no one take any pictures at the show?

Are the results for the 2nd auction - Kraft Auction/Catalog Auction on the 6th posted anywhere? Couldnt find them..thanks

Thanks Ron

We would like to thank EVERYONE who made our Second Peotone Auction so amazing. A HUGE thank you on behalf of Dave Thompson and myself to our consignors for entrusting us with their prized items. I believe both buyers and sellers were happy which is our overal goal and we managed to establish the World Record for a gas and oil sign selling at auction (Husky Shield Sign lot #45). Our new home at the Matteson Holiday Inn Conference Center was very warmly received by the attendees who praised both the hotel and restaurant. Brinkman Auctions and Gas Guys plan to make this the host hotel for future Peotone events. If you have a single item or an entire collection please do not hesitate to contact either Dave Thompson or myself for placement in the Official Fall Peotone Auction which is scheduled for Friday October 16 at 12:00 PM (Noon).
Regards,
Rory
