An exceptional soda pop machine is up for grabs on the first day at Lot 243. This machine is from 7UP and is very rare. It has been professionally restored by the renowned John Nelson, and is in excellent working condition. It measures 58” H and 27” W. The machine will look great in any home display and this item will be snapped up fast. Absentee bids can be left now on this machine; and on auction day the high bidder will take this home.
A near mint piece of Petroliana is up for auction on the 2nd day at Lot 898. This is a gasoline globe from Standard Oil Gold Crown. This globe is embossed milk glass with its original paint. Measuring 16” H and 16” W it is hard to miss wherever it is displayed. There is no telling what price this beautiful piece of collecting history will obtain, but it will be well worth it for any collector of advertising or Petroliana materials.
