DUBLIN, Ohio – A rare Texaco Home

Lubricant counter-top display rackmade of painted metal, rated 9-plus ona scale of 1-10 for overall condition,sold for $7,425 at an auction held June25.

The Texaco display rack was the top lotof the more than 400 lots of petrolianaand automobilia that crossed the blockthat day. The sign, measuring 12 inchesby 13 1/2 inches by 5 inches, was “thebest of example of this piece I have

ever sold at auction,” said DanMatthews of Matthews Auctions,Nokomis, Ill. “Condition is what drovethe price up, for this and other lots,” headded.

“Many of the top earners were card-board displays and other displaypieces, not signs, and that runs counter to what we’ve seen in previous sales,”

Matthews observed. “Display piecesare becoming more and more sought

after by collectors and are an up-and-coming category. Of course, conditionis what matters most. Items rated 8.5or 9 and above all brought high dol-lars.”

The second top lot was a Ford Gen-uine Parts single-sided tin countertop(or hanging display) neon sign,

Mechanical bankgoes from World’sFair to world record

by Auction House PR

TIMONIUM, Md . – Clad in age-defyingcast iron, antique mechanical banksmade another bulletproof run acrossthe auction block featuring the JohnJirkofsky collection. The sale set anumber of records for prices paid on in-dividual banks.

The anxious crowd awaited a pristine,multicolored J. & E. Stevens mechani-

cal bank commemorating the 1893Chicago World’s Fair. Only about fiveof the color variation exists; 99% of those produced were painted gold withsilver highlights. Estimated at $14,000-$18,000, the bank depicting Christo-pher Columbus sitting on a rock, withthe Santa Maria at one side and an In-dian chasing a buffalo on the other side, “discovered” its true market valueat a record $45,325 (all prices inclusiveof 22.5% buyer’s premium).

A Western art enthusiast, the buyer of the World’s Fair bank also lodged thewinning bid on a very rare Indian Headbust-style mechanical bank, probablythe best of three known examples.

Against an estimate of $9,000-$12,000,the coveted money box sold for $19,600.

A continued interest in German paintedspelter banks was evident in the sale,

with a circa-1920 Black Boy with Bou-quet of Flowers achieving a recordprice of $9,190. Cast-iron American stillbanks had a successful day at auction,as well. A boxed example by Arcadereplicating a Buick Yellow Cab with aflattop roof raced to a record-setting$7,320 against a $4,000-$6,000 esti-mate.

Bonhams To Auction Maharaja’s Tiger Hunting Rolls Royce

A truly unique, handmade automobilewill be auctioned by Bonhams at itsforthcoming Quail Lodge sale, heldeach August inCarmel, Californiaduring the world-famous PebbleBeach Car Week.

The custom-made1925 Rolls-RoyceNew Phantom wasoriginally commis-sioned by SahibBahadur of India,officially known asUmed Singh II,Maharaja of Kotah, for the purpose of tiger hunting.

The Rolls-Royce Limited company–then in Derby, England– employed pre-ferred coachbuilders Barker &Company of London who created thehighly specialized Sports Touring bodyfor His Highness the Maharaja.

The massive and impeccably crafted

car is powered by an 8.0-liter, 6-cylin-der engine with dual-spark ignitionthat’s set to a low gearing ratio, allow-ing it to creep powerfully through the

roughshod jungles of Rajasthan.

In addition the standard luxury fittingsfor which Rolls-Royce and Barker are renowned, thepurpose-built motor-car contains a hid-den safe, anickel-plated hissingsnake horn,mounted Howdahgun (double-barrelshotgun in pistolform), rifle stand inthe rear passenger compartment, twopowerful search-

lights for night spotting, a mountableLantaka cannon, attached to thebumper, and, if that weren’t enough, amachine gun mounted on an attached,matching trailer.

Due to its distinctive history, the IndianConsulate had once requested the car be repatriated to India to be displayedin a museum. Respectfully declined by

the then owner, the car will now beavailable at auction for the first timeand carries an estimate of $750,000-$1,000,000.

No Buyer for Chaplin Film at Auction

When it comes to motion pictures,Charlie Chaplin is the man, no?

Well, an all-but-

forgotten short filmfeaturing footage of the comic star failed tosell at a London auc-tion, defying expecta-tions that it might fetcha six-figure sum,Reuters reported.

The reserve price onthe film at Wednes-day’s sale was

£100,000 ($160,000)at Bonhams auction-eers, but apparentlythat was too high.“Charlie Chaplin in‘Zepped,’ ” is believed to be a propa-ganda film made in Britain duringWorld War I

A collector discovered the seven-minute short inside an old film reel tinand bought it in 2009 for £3.20 (about

$5) on the online auction site eBay.

The film shows Chaplin taking on aGerman Zeppelin aircraft and fea-turessome of the earliest animation in

film history.

Chaplin probably never knew of the movie’s ex-istence, said the filmcritic and Chaplin biog-rapher David Robinson,according to Reuters.

Mr. Robinson said ananonymous filmmaker had put together out-takes from three earlier

Chaplin pictures — “HisNew Profession”(1914), “A Jitney Elope-ment” (1915) and “TheTramp” (1915) — and

included sequences of stop-motion an-imation and other effects.

Chaplin was not involved in the pro-duction of “Zepped,” but famously sat-irized Adolf Hitler in the 1940 movie“The Great Dictator.”
