The Saturday, July 17 session opens with more than 125 high-end advertising lots. A parade of pretty girls from the turn of the 20th century includes the fabled model Hilda Clark on a near-mint 1903 Coca-Cola tray; and a beauty sipping Dr. Pepper from a glass as the central image of a near-mint-plus, late-19th-century cardboard sign (estimate 10,000-15,000).brbr Additional soft drink advertising includes a number of large near-mint-plus cardboard signs from the 1930s and 40s touting Coca-Cola. Among them is a 1940s example with the image of a girl lying on the beach (3,000-5,000). An early Lawrence Paint Company porcelain sign emblazoned with a tigers head is expected to leap to a winning bid of 2,000-4,000; while an oval tin sign for Robert Smith Ale, Philadelphia, with a Bengal tigers head emerging through it, will require 5,000-7,000 in order to be tamed.brbr Representing an American classic, a porcelain Campbells Soup sign in near-mint condition is mm-mm-good looking and carries an estimate of 4,000-6,000. Another domestically themed sign advertises Westinghouse appliances (2,000-4,000), while a custom sign depicting a cook holding a pan and frying chicken over a fire also carries an estimate of 2,000-4,000.brbr In the tobacciana section, a large Mayo Cut Plug Tobacco porcelain sign with a rooster image could reach 4,000-6,000. Smaller but no less desirable, a Hi-Ho Tobacco pocket tin with a wonderful image of scullers rowing also carries a 4,000-6,000 estimate.brbr The advertising selection includes three complete sets of Roly Poly tins, advertising Dixie Queen, Navy Cut and Red Man Tobacco, respectively. These are going to fly. It took the gentleman who consigned the tins 30 years to collect them all. Im guessing theyll do 4,000 to 6,000 per set, said Dan Morphy. Additional lots include a large assortment of tip trays in near-mint-plus condition. The trays include advertising for Coca-Cola, breweries and other companies.brbr A featured grouping of 20 large, double-sided porcelain neon signs was sourced from a warehouse in Duluth, Minnesota, where they had been stored for many years. Some are 10 to 12 feet tall and weigh 300 pounds. They came off 1920s storefronts in Duluth and advertise such retail establishments as a furniture store, jewelry store, a brewery, etc., said Morphy. Among the more eye-catching examples is a 10-foot-long, quintessentially Art Deco, lime green and yellow neon sign for Nolanders Furniture (3,000-5,000) and an 8-foot-long 1920s sign for Hotel Arrowhead (3,000-5,000). I expect there will be lot of interest in that particular sign. The colors are fantastic, said Morphy.brbr Part II of an old-time collection with deep provenance is how Morphy described the 78 occupational shaving mugs to be offered on July 17. All are recognized mugs, and many are featured in Brian Estepps shaving mug book, he said. (See separate sidebar feature accompanying this article.)brbr More than 200 tin toy lots, many from the Michael OHearn collection, will be auctioned on day two of the sale. Included are near-mint Marx Amos Andy walkers with two boxes (2,000-3,000), a Marx Ring-a-Ling Circus windup toy with original box (1,500-2,000) and a rare boxed Hootin Hollow Haunted House (1,000-1,500), which holds crossover appeal with Halloween collectors.brbr Over 100 pressed-steel toys and pedal cars will be offered, many of them from the OHearn collection. A toy Packard sedan estimated at 2,000-3,000 is one of the many coveted examples that will cross the auction block.Many of the pedal cars were custom made and unusual, said Morphy. An Indian Carnival pedal car is estimated at 6,000-8,000; and a 1928 Model A Ford coupe is expected to head off to a new owner for4,000-6,000. A 1914 Ford C-Cab could bring 5,000-7,000. Motorcycle fans are sure to find the Say It With Flowers motorcycle pedal car appealing. Its presale estimate is 7,500-9,500.brbr The July 17 session also includes more than 60 mechanical and still banks. Among the stills are many buildings and other architecturally themed examples. One of the more-coveted lots is a Lighthouse still bank in near-mint condition.
