Hello. Everyone ,
                             I for one did not take pictures .Among the item's I forgot a 3:00am With my Glasses That realy would have come in handy for the Map Reading . I was Just Happy  to make it there . Almost hit 2 Deer (Realy Close inches)
Then Meeting Matt & Brian .

After we arrived at the sale .We found out there was going to be a Silent Auction . AT Noon for some of the Items .IE Large Glass Coke Bottles (all 3 not Chrismas Bottles ) Route Manual - the Hutching bottles .So these were NOT Priced .
 
Item Priced WERE marked FULL  Book Value ++some. The Bottle plack $350 . Santa Stand =Up's (From 70s) $50  
A cigair Thermometer Total frount Rusty $ 550.
17 inch Common Bottle Thermometer (Roberson) $75.This was a fair by Nice Condition).
The Silouit Girl Thermometer $500 (Light s rust on surfus entire face )
The Lamp shades you Veiw in the Pictures By Matt (White Globes) $1500 $1800 The Fixture was there for each .

OPPS , I'm still really tired ,I forgot to answers all the Questions

While Matt & Brian & I were there I only saw smaller items selling & only a few pieces .None of the big$$ stuff was selling because of prices . I talked to a coupe of other Guy's that drove from Georgia & Oklahoma & Missouri .Boy they were PI$$ED . They had a lot in cost making the trip only to find the ^^^high prices & a silent auction that would'nt be till noon .The auction worked like this .NOTHING had Prices on them .

1, you write what your willing to bid with the number you were supplyed .
2.Wait till noon for auction .
3.If it Did Not reach their  Reserve start the auction over again wait till 5-7 pm try again

What a shame.... they should have just had a good ol' fasion auction and got it over with.... Would love to come to that I would love to meet more members in person any guess how far that is from St. Louis?.....

Bummer

[SIGNGUY]

That sucks... the guy should have just ebayed it all? Typically Collector thought... "Gee it's old and says Coca-Cola on it, must be worth a fortune in any condition!"  
If I would have driven more than an hour, I would have been quite P*^#%d off as well!
No machines or big items?? '>
