Featuring the Late Dr. Michael Francis Collection. Dr. Francis was an automobile enthusiast known for his keen eye, knowledge, judging acumen. He was an historian who built a collection that includes early 20th century porcelain dealer signs, advertising signs, gas pumps, American automotive literature, and historical objects related to Owen Sound (his birthplace) and Orillia (the place of his medical practice). The sale includes Canadian porcelain dealer signs including two Enarco ‘Slateboy’ signs, a diecut Cities Service sign in its rare wrought iron frame, and two Supertest dealer signs. Headlining the sale is a 1920s 2-sided, three dimensional ‘Garage’ sign from the Ancaster Ford-Essex Garage, and a 1936 Chevrolet 1/2 Ton Pickup truck in untouched original condition (even the original tires). Everything in this sale is fresh to the market. It’s a sale not to be missed!
