Coke, Gas Station & Collectable Auction (Confirmed!)

[Ken R]

loman,
   Unfortunately, this is what we have on consignment to put up for auction.  I have many more pics, but didn't want to overload, plus it takes forever to go thru and resize them all to fit on here.  There are several things that I have not seen that will be up for auction as well, but we won't know what those things are until we are able to pick it up next week and bring it back to the auctionhouse.  I believe the plan is to go on Monday to pick up.  I wish I could just sell them to you guys, but that would be doing an injustice to our consignor.  My intention of letting you guys know about it is to share the opportunity to maybe pick up some pieces that you maybe didn't have or maybe one in better condition.  I would be doing you guys an injustice if I didn't share such an opportunity!
   There are several of the 12" button signs and even a couple that are smaller, but I think those are repros.  The super nice one, in my opinion is the huge one that's almost 3 feet across.  There are a couple Dr. P signs as seen with the white button.

I'd be interested in a list of machines for sale.

Matt,
   The machines that I know are in this auction will be...

VMC-33, looks to have been restored/repainted as some point, but was a pretty good job and looks great.
Vendo 39, was told it was in all original condition, if so, it's in remarkable condition.
Ideal 55 Slider (double-dot...is there any other?), has been restored/repainted at an earlier date, but the lid has been pushed inward by having things on top of it, still looks great.
Westinghouse Junior (Electric Model), also has been repainted/restored and looks to be in excellent condition.
Westinghouse Master, unrestored condition and needs much work, but was a model that had a water fountain the center between the doors...rare???
Tom's Snack Machine, I do not know the exact model of this one, but looks to be completely original unrestored/repainted condition, in excellent condition.

There is also an extra Vendo 39 large door that has already been repainted.  Am told the small coin door is also there, but did not see it.  All machines listed above should have pics already posted except the two I just attached.  You can see the fountain mentioned on the Master, but it has fallen thru the center panel due to rust.

I forgot to mention that the Pepsi slider is embossed, not just painted on.  Here's a close-up...

Here are some really nice trays.  I think there is only one that is a repro, but do not recall which one it is, but most all are the real deal.

All are newer (1970s to now) with the exception of the girl on the beach running that's a 1937 tray.
But even the 70s trays for Coke are picking up depending on the style... the Cokes will be dated under the
ridge (lip) to the left side I believe.

[Ken R]

Thanks for the information.  When I get them here next week, I will be sure to take a very close look at them.  We just sold one at auction on Monday for $225.  Attached is the one we just sold.  Did we do well or did we miss the mark on it?

[Eric]

looks like a little tip tray.. don't know that one off hand... but it's looks like the real deal to me... nice!
what was the size?

[halehouse]

What size is that first red button with the bottle, pictured above the Pegasus neon? It looks newer.

[Ken R]

It was not a tip tray, it was a large serving tray, around 18"x12"...give or take.  I was only able to find a single example on internet prior to sale.

Here are a couple pics of some coolers we'll have as well...
