Welcome to Old Gas Rollie Looks like a great auction.

THANKS GASOILDUDE, THIS IS A GREAT AUCTION AND SHOULD BE A LOT OF FUN. THIS IS THE SECOND OF 2 AUCTIONS FOR DAVE GIESKE AND THERE ARE ITEMS HERE FOR THE BEGINNING OR ADVANCED COLLECTOR. THIS IS A PRIVATE COLLECTION AND NOT A CONSIGNMENT AUCTION THAT IS BEING SOLD.
THANKS

Looks like a great auction. Cool air meter. I am going to be late though, I have to work until noon. Anyone else going?

Safticycle,
Looks like it could be a very good sale.
I'm considering attending. I'm waiting for a reply from the auctioneer on specific items. So far all I've received is spam email from him but not a direct response to my questions. Hopefully he will get back to me in the next couple of days. Otherwise I'll attend another auction that is only 3 hours away instead of the 6 hours to the WI sale.

I'm getting his "Spam" too. I've asked to be removed from his list. I hope he responds to my request.

I would recommend getting enough information/more images from Rollie (Rollie Smith the auctioneer) on any item and its condition to your satisfaction prior to leaving an absentee bid.

------------------

That is good advice Superamerica Man for anyone for any auction. I have called Rollie Smith on different occasions and he has been very fair on describing items. It looks like Dave has been collecting a long time, I hope he does well. See you there.

Bob,

Are you going to this sale? If so, let me know I may want to bid on an item.

Thanks, Phil

Phil,
The auctioneer did get back to me but I won't be going to this auction after all.

I thought I would share a little about the Dave Gieske auction. There were some good items and some good buyers at this western Wi auction. I didn't have my camera so I can't share any pictures but a few of the highlights were a Wayne 71 Showcase pump that brought $4750, Eco Air Meter that brought $3000, Stanocola Polarine Flange sign-$475, 1941 painted BF Goodrich sign-$1150 and a unique Champion Spark Plug Sign that brought $1700. I think there were only 4 original globes which seemed to do about average, and there were many oil cans that sold real well. I got a Good Gulf Porcelain Flange sign and a Colonial Gasoline Porcelain sign, not much but a fun day....

THANKS FOR COMING TO THE AUCTION CUSH. WE HAD A GREAT AUCTION AND PRICES WERE STRONG ON THE MORE UNIQUE AND RARE SIGNS, AND OIL CANS. I TALKED TO DAVE GIESKE AFTER THE SALE AND HE WAS VERY HAPPY. WE HAD A GREAT CROWD THAT TURNED OUT CONSIDERING IT WAS -18 BELOW ZERO ON SALE MORNING.
THANKS ROLLIE SMITH
