DENVER, Pa. – Five months after its acquisition by Morphy Auctions, Victorian Casino Antiques (VCA) of Las Vegas, Nevada, is now officially operating under the banner of its new parent company. All signage, corporate literature, auction catalogs and other materials generated by the firm – which is known nationwide for its sales of antique advertising and vintage gambling and coin-op machines – now reflects the Morphy Auctions name.
“It has been a very easy transition getting to this point,” said Dan Morphy, founder and president of Morphy Auctions. “Our teams have blended together perfectly from day one, and our game plan for the future is right on target. We will be adding classic car, antique and art auctions to the traditional Victorian Casino roster of three to four major advertising and coin-op auctions per year in Las Vegas.”
Morphy said the final step in completing the VCA to Morphy Auctions Las Vegas transition was getting the word out to VCA’s consignors and buyers.
“We wanted to allow adequate time for their client base to be notified that Victorian Casino is now the Western-states branch of Morphy’s and that Morphy’s business practices would now apply in all dealings. We’re satisfied that we’ve reached everyone, and now we can all move forward in building a powerful and transparent West Coast business that welcomes many auction categories, not just a few,” Morphy said.
Morphy’s is planning a January 23-25 Coin-Op & Advertising Auction at the Las Vegas gallery. The company’s first West Coast Classic Car Auction is tentatively scheduled for March of 2015, also at the Las Vegas branch. Other auctions in the immediate pipeline for the Vegas gallery will focus on antique firearms, and fine and decorative art. All Morphy Auctions events utilize LiveAuctioneers for absentee and Internet live bidding.
