Any oldgassers going to the sale? If so, PM me, there's a couple of things I'm interested in buying.
Looking for photos, etc from 60s era Shell-A-Rama gas station and Pal's Diner, Rt. 17 Mahwah, NJ
& US or state highway signs, shields, route markers

I was in OKC Tuesday. Called and asked if I could look at the stuff. Wanted to see if it would be worth my trip. My answer was no. Had to be in line the morning of the 13th. I won't be there!

Hi Butch. That's why I dont go to estate sales for that reason. Usually big waste of time.

Right, either prices are low and it looks like a Black Friday scene with everybody grabbing all they can or they're so high no one's buying anything. They should have never done this as an estate sale.

This estate had several cars (Packards), signs, cans, pumps, etc and was auctioned in the early 2000’s by Aumann in Waukomis, Oklahoma.
If I remember the story correctly, an investor from California bought the ranch, cars and petroleum collection. He opted to sell everything but the land.
Bill and Marylin Humphrey noted in the listing have both been deceased for numerous years. I assume their children are liquidating “what’s left”.
I remember standing in the back during the auction next to Kyle and we both bought several signs and rare Oklahoma cans. It was in October but I don’t recall the year.....2000-2002.
Dan will remember scenario better.
I have a feeling most items in this estate sale will have condition issues and be over priced.
Collect small Oklahoma Oil Co.'s 1920's-1940's. Barnsdall, Cushing, Eason, Marland, etc.

The petroliana stuff was roped off at the sale and they were letting only 5 people shop that area at a time. When one would leave, then one could go in. So it took a long to get into that area. Not the most ideal situation if you were not in the first 5. I was told that the man that was first in line had been there 2 days.

It will be a cold day in H--- when I stand in line to view overpriced items,or even under priced!

I looked at the photos and knew it wouldn't be worth the trouble for me to drive 2 1/2 hrs. Hopefully found something they liked.

I thought about going but knew it would be a cluster. If there was someone who waited in line for two days for what I saw in the pictures he was thinking that stuff was worth a lot more than I did.....GB
