Like I said did not do very well tracking globe prices, many metal body globes went in $400 range, Sterning NOS w/box $675?, Ethyl Super Prem $650, Atlantic Gasoline w/scrambled egg $425. Missed pictures of a whole section I think because I can't find the Koolmotor.
Thought I wrote down Fire Chief/Sky Chief square (building/sign gobes?) large base, I think $1000 ea.
Also there in globe pump room a M/S light pole pg. 201 of Jack's book, original glass, $2000

I probably overloaded the dial-up guys,
Sorry, at least now we are on page 2.

Thanks Tok!
Sounds like globe prices were pretty reasonable if they were complete and in good condition.....except for the fake big Sky Chief and Fire Chief/ protruding star globes.

Thanks for the great pictures, Tok!! But you've left me here in suspenders......did you get the price on the NOS Mobilheat 2-piece sign? Got one just like it about 8-9 years ago and was wondering if it's been a good investment......

Richard

I'm not sure the prices given here on the air meters are correct. I placed online bids higher than $300 so I called for verification. At least one went over $500... Ron

Hello All, back from Vegas. I could be wrong on the air meter $$ Ron, but that's what I wrote down. Like I said was fast and hard to make notes.

Richard, NOS Mobilheat sign $3900!

Some other pics including signs later.
Cya

Huh so those big star globes were fake Bob? If that's the case Ouch, had never seen them before. Were there originals??

Some of the signs:







What do you think of the Polarine sign?? Original or repro? Heavy and thick shelving, had "dimples" that looked original on the back that were kind of touched up.

Note the Citi's Service pump plate size sign in sign pic 1 that I think is a truck sign, that was brought up recently.
Also the Tex thermometer pic 4 I thought was faded but they said it was yellow for diesel.

Nice pics Tokheim. I thought the original Polarine you pictured was lithographed tin (lighter steel) and not porcelain. Maybe others can shed thoughts on it also. Looks to shiney for an early sign.

Thanks TOK....Love to look at the stuff,nice mix of pumps,signs and globes.
With just the picture of the Polarine sign to look at I would B passing.
Two questions:
The sign to the rite of the Polarine (Looks like a bamboo frame)...Is that a Chevron Island Sign?
Did you get the price of the Mobil oil Cabinet in picture one?
.............
Thanks again for the show.

REX LIKES AUCTIONS

Thanks Tok.......for the Mobilheat sign price and all the extra pictures!! Guess $2000 wasn't the a god-awful price I thought it was at the time.........


Richard

Chevron Island, I saw one about 10 yrs back, passed on it had a few cracks, might still be there!!

Welcome To Chevron Island!! around 69 or 69 me thinks..

Wonder what the Indian Motorcycle light-up went for??

Thanks guys, I don't know what that sign is beside the Polarine (which was def. porcelain and had bake marks), and no other pic I have shows it.
Rex the Mobil cabinet was $500 w/out the cans and then they sold for quite a bit on there own.
Indian motorcycle sign, not sure, $300 give or take.
This will be the last of them, sorry if I got carried away.



May not get all the prices correct, but pretty sure it was 60 - 62 degrees in there!










Thanks for looking, cya at the auctions!!

Never to many pics of auctions. I could of got a divorce if I went to that one lol. Thanks for the coverage looked like a good time

I agree with Kim about the Polarine sign.

Thanks for the pictures and report.

...I'd like to know what the 'That Good Gulf Gasoline' price sign and price disc went for, if anyone knows....thanks!
