More than 1,200 of the finest collectible Road Art items ever offered at public auction will come together this October 20-22 in Walworth, Wisconsin, as Mecum Auctions hosts The Road Art Collection Auction at its Badger Street facility. This vast array of investment-grade porcelain signs, neon signs, gas pumps and globes, oil cans and other such automobile-related relics includes a host of products and advertising materials used during the last 115 years to endorse, promote and celebrate the automobile and its many support industries.
These top-quality collectibles are all markers in history that tell the story of America’s growth since the Industrial Revolution, with some of the more notable items including a double-sided 42-inch Kelly Tires porcelain sign, a Husky Gasoline Motor Oils sign and a five-gallon Shell Motor Oil Rocker Oil Can.
“We are honored to present this prestigious Road Art collection at Mecum’s new Badger Street facility in Walworth,” said Dan Mecum, president and founder of Mecum Auctions’ Road Art division. “If you’re looking for a superior selection of investment-grade items, many of which you’re unlikely ever to see again — this will be the place to find it.”
