Press Release
New Hamburg, ON, Canada, Dec 2, 2025 — A Canadian 1930s Service Station Equipment Company “ClearVision Model 700” double visible gas pump climbed to $42,480 and two Canadian 1930s single-sided porcelain back-to-back Ford V8 Dealer signs sold as one lot for $28,450 in a Gas, Oil & General Store Advertising auction held November 15th by Miller & Miller Auctions, Ltd.
All prices quoted in this report are in Canadian dollars and include an 18 percent buyer’s premium.
The two-session, online-only Gas, Oil & General Store Advertising auction featured the outstanding Jason Patzer Collection with a morning session at 9am and an evening session at 6pm (Eastern time). A total of 437 lots came up for bid across the two sessions. Mr. Patzer was a successful home builder but still found time to build such a collection. He took it seriously, sourcing the rare variations. He held nothing back in his quest for rare Canadian petroliana.
“Results from the Patzer collection prove that the pulse for petroliana continues,” said Ethan Miller, the president and owner of Miller & Miller Auctions, Ltd. “While condition is playing a greater factor than it was a few years ago, key signs soared past expectations. All in all, it was a successful sale.”
Most of the higher-dollar items were offered in the morning session, led by the Canadian 1930s Service Station Equipment Company “ClearVision Model 700” double visible gasoline pump, an exceptional example of a show-quality restoration to Supertest branding and colors. Supertest operated numerous gas stations across Canada. The limited run of the Model 700 made this 124-inch-tall gasoline pump very rare. It roared past the $30,000 high estimate to finish at $42,480.
