PORTLAND, Ore. – Paige Auction invites bidders to experience “The Joy of Collecting” on Tuesday, September 15th, with a colorful 350-lot sale containing great pieces from dozens of popular collecting categories. Absentee and Internet live bidding will be available through LiveAuctioneers.
The variety in this sale is endless. There’s breweriana, advertising memorabilia, arrowheads, NASCAR and Indy mementos; John Deere toys, Britains & Zinnfiguren soldiers, books, coins, posters and Roseville pottery.
Let’s look at a few lots in the sale…
Here’s Lot 15, an 8 by 10 inch (11 by 14 inches with mat) Kodak color print of Dale Earnhardt’s Goodwrench #3 and Richard Petty’s STP #43 stock cars in racing mode. The photo is autographed by both of the legendary NASCAR superstars. Estimate: $100-$250.
Relive childhood memories with Lot 78, a vintage John Deere 730 tractor with a three-point hitch and metal fenders. The toy is marked “Made in USA,” and it has rubber front and rear tires with metal rims. It could be yours for an estimated $80-$200.
Here’s a cool way to keep track of the time – a World War II-era Pepsi-Cola lighted clock. It works well and measures 15 inches in diameter. The auction estimate for Lot 97 is $150-$375.
This hexagonal glass jar used to hold small bags of peanuts. It would sit on a store counter, tempting store patrons to dip in and buy a packet of the salty snacks. Who could resist the image of the fabulous Mr. Peanut, complete with top hat and cane? This great-looking advertising piece entered as Lot 101 is expected to make $50-$125.
Collecting toy soldiers is one of the world’s most popular hobbies. It attracts fans of all ages. Paige’s auction has several very nice groupings of soldiers in their sale, like Lot 115, for example. This five-piece set was made by the premier manufacturer of soldiers: Britains. Known as the #32 set, it was produced at Britain’s factory in England from 1944 till 1960. The regiment is known as the Royal Scots Greys, and it comes in its original box. Each figure is of hollow-cast lead and is hand-painted. Estimate: $100-$250.
Since they’re celebrating their fifth anniversary, Paige Auction has decided to level the playing field by reducing their online bidder’s premium from 18% to 15%. With this change, LiveAuctioneers bidders will pay the same rate as in-house and other bidders.
