H&H Classics has announced a very special automobilia auction with the entire catalogue being offered by one seller and all lots offered without reserve.

The Christine Hodges Petroliana Sale takes on Saturday 17^th August and comprises 329 collectable items appealing to all tastes and budgets.

Highlights of the Petroliana Sale include a rare power hand-shaped glass petrol pump globe. H&H Classics knows of only one other example to sell at public auction which fetched more than £10,000.

Adam Sykes, classic car and automobilia consultant at H&H Classics, said: “What makes this a particularly special auction is the fact the entire catalogue is offered without reserve. It was amassed by Christine over the last four or so decades, with input from her husband, a well-known car club member who sadly passed away last year.

“It’s a fascinating mixture of original forecourt items and contemporary decorative pieces and such a diverse offering means there’s something for everyone, be that a £50 enamel sign or a glass petrol pump globe that could well achieve several thousands of pounds.”

Another highlight of the automobilia auction is a trio of oil dispensers, complete with their miniature glass globes.

Adam added: “It’s difficult to predict a total estimated value of Christine’s collection, but we are confident that whatever that figure is, there is likely to be a great deal of interest in the items.”
