I'm going to enter some bids on these items and would appreciate if you guys could tell me what they'd be worth at ayction. Here's 4 of the items and I'll post a few more in another post. Most interested in the signs but would appreciate an estimate of each items value? Thanks

Round is 36" DSP with chip along top? (I want this sign)
Rectangle is 17" x 24" Mint (I want this too)

The last thing is a reproduction 17 x 24 sign in Red Indian. Wondered if it's like the ones on eBay that are pretty inexpensive or if it's something different? Value?

Go through some of Shackelton's previous auctions on Proxibid. The last Red Indian corrosion tin went for $600, not including the GST, bidder's premium, and shipping. The high speed polish could possibly go for $1000+. The 25 pound grease can is questionable because if it was a original Red Indian tin it should say McColl-Frontenac, not Texaco Canada, unless it is some sort of later commemorative tin. Cheers.

Thanks very much Don,

Been talking with a few people trying to get an idea of where to jump in on these signs. Depends how stupid it gets but Francis has me lined up for telephone bids on all of the lot's I'm interested in. We'll see, but there's definitely pieces I want there.

Oh don't worry Wes, I had a pretty good idea of the values, just wanted to nail it down tight so I'd know what it would take to buy some of it. You going?

Seriously?

Tozer puts out another auction list out with 1000 items and you think nobody's gonna show up? That's a good one!They've been marketing this auction for weeks already and it isn't their first rodeo! Nor mine Kim! Thanks for that comment though!

It's funny how the people that WON'T be bidding on these items are doing the most appraising values on the stuff,, $15K on the first two signs ???? where does that expert appraisal come from..
