(JAFFREY, N.H.) – A two-session auction featuring a lifetime single-owner collection of petroliana, automobilia, snowmobile collectibles, antique Volkswagen Beetles and other vehicles and trailers will be held Saturday, Sept. 24, by Matthews Auctions, LLC, based in Nokomis, Ill.

The first session, slated to start at 9 a.m. (EDT), will feature uncataloged items, to include vintage gas pumps and gas pump parts, a City of Newell sign and several other uncataloged signs, old Volkswagen Beetle parts, a Wards Art Deco-style lady’s bicycle and other bicycles.

Then, at around 11 a.m., the second ring of the sale – packed with cataloged items – will commence. This session will feature most of the petroliana and snowmobilia items, plus several highly desirable vehicles, to include a 2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty XLT V-8 power stroke diesel truck (low mileage, 4X4, with snow plow), and a 1974 Airstream travel trailer in fine condition.

More than 50 metal and plastic petroliana and snowmobile signs will be sold, to include a Polaris Sno-Traveler Authorized Sales sign with great snowmobile graphics, an International Motor Trucks Sales and Service double-sided porcelain sign with triple diamond logo (24 inches by 48 inches), and a Sinclair H-C Gasoline double-sided porcelain sign, 48 inches in diameter.

Also in the cataloged session will be over 30 air meters and more than 40 gas pumps, some of them beautifully restored. A couple of expected top lots will include a Gilbarco Model #914 double-computing gas pump, with sight glass, and an Eco Tireflator air meter on a stand, with light tower and cover.
