$133,975 – Burns & Co Breaks Record for Enamel Sign sale!!!

By What's News

After a strong sale our Next Level Collectors Livestream Auction ended with a BANG!! With some of the best Petrol & Oil collectables out there up for grabs in this auction, buyers had a great range of choice to take their collection to the next level.

But there was one item that everyone was eager to see sold, the Superb Original LUBRICATE WITH SHELL MOTOR OIL Enamel Sign. In such fantastic condition, it was speculated that it would have to be one of the best on offer in Australia.

With the lots counting down and hundreds watching live, the Burns & Co team delivered something very special.

At the fall of the hammer Burns & Co broke the Australian Record for a sign with the sale of this beautiful sign. The final sale price of $133,975* saw the $100,000 mark broken for only the second time (The first was also by Burns & Co!!!).

This was an incredible achievement creating history for an incredible piece.

Other notable results were another Shell Stickman piece, the Superb Original GOLDEN SHELL Lubricating Oil For Motorcycles enamel sign selling for $29,416* to be the second highest selling lot and a Superb Original COR Milk Glass Petrol Pump Globe selling for $16,601* to round out the top 3 places.
