SHACKELTON'S/SACKRIDER AUCTIONS SET RECORD FOR THIS MCCOLL FRONTENAC 36" SIGN !!!

Not if you're from the wild wild west. We like our 5% tax and usually negotiate a better buyers premium. I did manage to get a few Red Indian pieces coming my way and hammered most if not all of the Texaco porcelains.

There goes my dreams of a Red Indian collection! LOL

Mine too Kevin. All I managed were some posters, framed pictures, advertisementss, a DSP rack topper, grease tub, corrosion tin, a reproduction sign (#1 of 50), a pump set and some oil cans. Once I get a wayne 70 finished up in Red Indian, setup the can rack and hang the ads, pictures and repro sign around it in a corner, that'll likely be the end of it of me.

Think I'll stick to Texaco from this point forward, but that's really coming along now and will now dress two complete walls. Here's a few pictures of what I got through the auction yesterday. The rest were pictures, adverts etc.

Why did the Red Indian pint bottles sell so cheaply? were they damaged?

Wes probably had a look at them onsite and perhaps he can chime in on them? I went for the Texaco and Havoline glass and got a few of them at less than the McColl Frontenac pieces went for. Don't know the condition of them other than what was seen in the pictures.
