Morphy Auctions held an amusement-themed auction series from May 11-15. The five-day sale included rare antique and vintage items, from 19th century railroad memorabilia and coin-op machines to mid-20th century petroliana and automotive signs. Â
The 10-gallon visible gas pump with a built-in oil dispenser â the top lot of the five-day sale â was included among 32 other gas pumps and nearly 300 gas and oil signs, as well as cans and gas-pump globes. This pump was restored in Stanocola Gasoline livery, and its blue-tint glass cylinder displayed unique metal gallon markers and 16 individual glass cylinders for oil disbursement. The winning bid totaled $87,600 â much higher than its estimate of $25,000-$50,000.
