Vintage Advertising and Antiques Auction Comes to iCollector.com on February 12th

On February 12th, 2015, iCollector.com is hosting a great live auction from The Auction Mill. This auction will feature 150 lots of vintage advertising material as well as many fine antiques. There will be a selection of Coca Cola collectibles, Breweriana, Crocks, Antique Radios and Clocks, as well as Scientific, Lighting, and Art Deco pieces up for sale. The catalog is currently open for absentee bidding for those unable to be online on auction date. Secure registration is just a few clicks of the mouse using an email address, or logins through Google Plus, Facebook, or iCollector.com accounts.

The goal of the Auction Mill is to satisfy the needs of every client in a manner that generates the highest return, in an ethical, professional, and efficient manner. They conduct weekly consignment auctions which host a wide variety of household items and collectibles. They also provide auctions in areas such as real estate, business liquidations, surplus inventory, and bankruptcy sales. Each auction provides a great experience for both live bidders and online bidders, and they stand behind their work with the best customer service possible.

Lot 26 and 52 feature some of the best Coca Cola items in the auction. The first example is a Smith Miller Coca Cola Truck. This is red in color, and is in very good condition. This truck is likely to sell for a few hundred dollars and absentee bids have already been left. Lot 52 is a great advertising sign. This is a Coca Cola Drug Store Enamel Embossed piece. This sign measures 54” by 96” and is in very good condition for its age. This sign will fetch a competitive price and will look great as part of any collection.

There is a vintage neon sign showing in the online catalog at Lot 83 that is sure to attract a lot of interest. This is a one of a kind custom vintage neon sign saying “Late Night Barbeque”. The sign was the precursor to McKenna’s Blues, Booze and BBQ club in Omaha, Nebraska. This is the only sign of its kind and is one of the best looking pieces in the auction.

Antique furnishings show up in the catalog as well. There are seven matching chairs from the late 1800’s on display at Lot 120. The charges are carved in either oak or mahogany, and are straight chairs with leather backs and seats. There are several photos for viewing in iCollector.com and for collectors of vintage furniture, this is a must have item.

This auction begins live bidding staring at 6PM Central time on Thursday, February 12th, 2015. All interested bidders are encouraged to register early in order to be ready for the live action. Secure registration and bidding is available on iCollector.com by looking for the Auction Mill.
