Donley Auctions - Step Back in Time: A Dazzling Array of Mechanical Music, Classic Cars, and Vintage Neon Takes the Stage
Every so often, an auction comes along that perfectly captures the magic of the past, offering collectors a chance to own breathtaking artifacts that defined their eras.
The auction floor will shine with a spectacular variety of categories, most notably a remarkable collection of vintage double-sided neon signs, automated musical instruments, fine art, and coin-operated trade stimulators. Standout pieces include an incredibly rare Bow Front Mills Violano (Lot 2103) and a magnificent Welte Brisgovia Orchestrion (Lot 2104a) that highlight the pinnacle of mechanical music. Mid-century modern enthusiasts will be captivated by The Kuba Komet TV (Lot 2135), while automotive fans can bid on a pristine 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Rally Sport Convertible (Lot 2155). For fine art aficionados, the Mathurin Moreau sculpture (Lot 2209) and the ultra-rare LeRoy Neiman Michael Jordan Printers Proof 2/6 Serigraph (Lot 2000) are simply breathtaking. The event also features a fantastic array of illuminated nostalgia, anchored by the massive 8' Rathskeller Sausage Neon Sign (Lot 2095) and the 9' Rockford Sausage Co. Neon Sign (Lot 2094), alongside historical curiosities like the US Patent Model Pistol (Lot 2001).
