Aumann Auctions attended the 2010, Spring Chicagoland Petroleum Show. We saw many familiar faces, and quite a few new ones. Attendance was up, due in part by a new advertising campaign, by the show's hosts. We enjoyed visiting with many of the vendors and collectors. Jim Potts, at
www.oldgas.com setup next to us. He had a nice selection of reference books for the veteran petroliana collector or those just starting out.
There was a wide variety of items including pumps, globes, signs, neons, and cans. One interesting globe we saw this year, was a gold and red crown combination in the booth next to us. This globe was used on a side by side gold and red crown pump. Fairly rare, this particular example was in good condition with original paint. It was priced at $1,100 and it sold sometime during the show on Sunday. Proving once again good items command good prices and sell.
We also saw an unusual Wayne 60 Pump with clock face and narrow base. This pump appeared to be factory. Although not in restored condition, was priced at $1,675 and did not sell as far as we know. Was a nice, great original example of a fairly rare pump.
As always we enjoyed the show, visiting with everyone, seeing new faces, unusual items and look forward to attending the fall Chicagoland Petroleum & Advertising Show. Thanks to Tim and Kevin and their families for hosting a great show!
We are still seeking quality consignments for our annual CTO Auction in Dublin, Ohio.
