Canadian 1930s Model 700 Supertest gasoline pump. "As a successful home builder, it's impressive Mr. Patzer found time to build such a collection," Most of the expected higher-dollar items will be offered in the morning session, led by lot #222, a Canadian 1930s Service Station Equipment Company "ClearVision Model 700" double visible gasoline pump, an exceptional example of a show-quality restoration to Supertest branding and colors. Supertest operated numerous gas stations across Canada. The limited run of the Model 700 make this 124-inch-tall gasoline pump extremely rare. It should gavel for $25,000-$30,000. All estimates in this report are in Canadian dollars. Lot #189 consists of two Canadian 1930s single-sided porcelain Ford V8 Dealer signs mounted back-to-back. The sign celebrates Henry Ford's iconic and revolutionary V8 engine, introduced in 1932. The sign is impressive at 79 inches by 76 inches and is retained in the original frame, including brackets, which extend 22 inches in height from the upper edge. Condition grades are as follows: V8: 7.5; Ford Oval: 7.25; Oval: 8.0; V8: 8.0. The estimate is a lofty $20,000-$25,000. Lot #267 is a Canadian 1930s single-sided porcelain Red Indian Aviation Motor Oil sign ("For Those Who Want the Best"), 26 ¼ inches by 72 ½ inches and in untouched original condition, graded 8.0. The sign shows Red Indian's distinctive Native American logo, in full headdress (often called a war bonnet), symbolizing the noble characteristics of courage, bravery and hard work. The sign isn't perfect by any means but it's still expected to command $20,000-$25,000. Internet bidding will be provided by MillerandMillerAuctions.com and LiveAuctioneers.com.
