Just a reminder that the auction conducted by Dan Matthews & crew next Thursday at Iowa Gas includes the rest of my collection. The auction starts at 6:30pm CST and the first 178 lots are my stuff. Most of the items were originally used in the central and western parts of the country, and feature items from the General Petroleum, Wadhams, White Eagle, and Magnolia marketing areas. Most of my favorite signs and globes are in this auction.

If you can't attend, you can still participate by online pre-bidding, online live bidding, absentee bidding, or bidding via telephone during the live auction. The Matthews folks are very accommodating and will ship your items safely and for a fair price.

There's some items in the auction that you're not likely to see anytime soon in this condition, and a few others that fit the "only one known' category.

The Aero & Kerosene pump plates are very rare and very tough to find, especially in the condition they were in. These are seldom up for sale. A pump plate that Richard didn't have was a Mobil Diesel Special that showed up at the Swap Meet in Iowa. This sign is equally tough to find.
