Miller & Miller Auctions, Ltd.’s Sunday, September 8th Soda & General Store Advertising auction contains 400 lots of advertising signs, soda advertising, tobacciana and general store items. Start times both days will be 9 am Eastern time. Bidders can participate in real time via the live webcast as the auction closes in lot order beginning at 9 am Eastern time. The September 8th auction is packed with premier advertising related to soda, general store and agriculture, featuring part two of the Al Bensmiller collection. “For decades, Al Bensmiller has been a highly regarded dealer of country store advertising,” said Ethan Miller of Miller & Miller Auctions, Ltd. “The items featured are from his personal collection,” adding, “Collectors should bid early and bid often.” Day 2 highlights include a superb Campbell’s Soup porcelain corner sign (the kind that inspired Andy Warhol), a 1941 Wurlitzer Model 750 juke box with original plastics, and a full run of Coca-Cola pilaster signs, all in high-grade condition from a single source. It also features the rare and possibly unique ’Standing Beaver’ midget pint fruit jar. Other items include an intact collection of Five Roses Flour signs and ephemera, topped by the iconic ‘Native’ Flour Bag sign. Internet bidding will be through www.MillerandMillerAuctions.com, plus the popular bidding platform LiveAuctioneers.com.
