2 Big Next Level Collectors Auctions over 2 Big nights.

This week was another big auction week for the Burns & Co team with not one, but two Next Level Collectors auctions being held at our 4 Market Drive, Bayswater, Vic facility on Wednesday and Thursday evenings.

It kicked off with the Next Level Collectors Auction – Petrol & Oil Collectables on the Wednesday night with a catalogue featuring many desirable pieces including a very desirable Hex Golden Fleece Sign, Shell Stickman, Mobil Pegasus Cookie Cutter, 8ft Embossed Perdriau Sign, very desirable Pint and Quart Embossed Neptune Oil Bottles, along with early Neptune tops, and other very desirable tins, signs etc.

The Thursday evening saw a varied and desirable catalogue of over 100 lots including in part the “Wally Ditchburn” Bottle Collection offering Demijohns, and other bottles, very desirable Arnott’s Biscuits Light Box; a great selection of antique shop display cabinets, and much more.

The highlights across the two nights included;

Wednesday – Petrol & Oil Collectables

• The Wednesday night ended with a BANG as a very well looked after SUPERB ORIGINAL LUBRICATE WITH SHELL MOTOR OIL STICKMAN Enamel Sign topped the auction. We’ve seen recently that the Stickman signs are very desirable and this one proved to be also, finally selling for $46,483.
• Another highly desirable enamel sign came in at second place for the night and that was the SUPERB ORIGINAL GOLDEN FLEECE HEX OILS & GREASES which made its way up to $26,329 before the final hammer dropped.
• And taking out third highest selling lot for the night was another Blue Stickman sign. This time it was the ORIGINAL LUBRICATE WITH SHELL MOTOR OIL EMBOSSED STICKMAN enamel sign that sold for $18, 873.

Thursday – Petrol & Oil Collectables

• The highest selling lot for the night was this desirable SUPERB ORIGINAL ARNOTTS FAMOUS BISCUITS DOUBLE SIDED LIGHT BOX. With the Vendor from Sydney in attendance to watch the sale from the selling floor he wasn’t left disappointed when the final hammer fell with the final price achieved being $13,339.
• The bottles in this auction drew a lot of interest and so there was quite a bit of speculation about which bottle would achieve the highest price, and in the end it was Lot 13, the G BUTCHART MILDURA 13OZ BLUE TOP CHAMPAGNE GINGER BEER bottle that took that prize selling for $7,630.
• Some highly desirable Display Cabinets were the other sough after pieces of the night and the highest yielding lot of those was a very rare Arnott’s piece. The SUPERB ORIGINAL ARNOTTS FAMOUS BISCUITS COUNTER TOP TIMBER SHOW DISPLAY CASE was on $4,660 when the final hammer fell.
