NEW HAMBURG, Ontario - Nov. 19, 2024 - PRLog -- A 24-inch diameter White Rose Dealer petroliana sign, a 1930s Packard "Approved Service" 5-foot dealer sign, a 1945 Black Cat Cigarettes sign, and a circa 1907-1912 Chero Crush syrup dispenser are expected highlights in two days of online-only auctions slated for Saturday and Sunday, December 7^th and 8^th, by Miller & Miller Auctions, Ltd.

The December 7^th Petroliana & Soda Advertising auction will feature the Legendary Motorcar Collection and contains 320 lots of soda advertising, petroliana, coin-op and advertising signs.

"Saturday offers gas, oil and soda advertising and features the personal stash of Peter Klutt, the Canadian television personality and founder of Legendary Motorcar Company," said Ethan Miller of Miller & Miller Auctions. Ltd.  "Peter found some of the rarest petroliana and soda advertising while hosting his hit television series Dream Car Garage and many of these discoveries are offered in this sale."

The December 8^th Advertising & Historic Objects auction features the late John Michael Durrant collection and is packed with 265 lots of advertising signs, soda advertising, breweriana, fruit jars and general store collectibles.

"The Sunday sale featuring the collection of the late John Michael Durrant includes some of the rarest historical advertising and Canadian fruit jars to ever surface in Canada," Mr. Miller said. "This sale includes many of the 'holy grails' in multiple categories of the Canadian advertising. Neither session should be missed."

The Canadian 1940s White Rose Dealer sign is the rare 24-inch diameter double-sided version of one of Canada's most recognizable petroliana signs. It's marked "P&M" to the lower center edge of one side and is graded 8.75 on both sides – overall a superb example with excellent color and gloss. Accompanying the sign are correct teardrop hangers and wall bracket, plus wind support anchor and chains. The flange is 20 inches by 36 inches. The lot should bring $15,000-$18,000 (Canadian dollars).
