GREENVILLE, S.C., Aug. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Richmond Auctions is thrilled to announce their anticipated auction this September, featuring two world-class collections that will captivate collectors and enthusiasts alike. The Marv and Jeanine Spomer Collection, alongside the Vernon Walker Collection, are set to be showcased on September 15^th and 16^th.

The Marv and Jeanine Spomer Collection is an exceptional museum dedicated to automobilia, petroliana, classic cars, and impressive neon sign collections. The Spomer Classics Collection showcases an outstanding selection of rare neon signs, porcelain signs, neon dealership clocks, and gas pump globes. Marv and Jeanine Spomer meticulously assembled this top-notch collection of advertising and classic cars, which were proudly displayed at their museum located in Worthington, MN.

The Vernon Walker Collection features an exceptional grouping of neon and porcelain signs. Walker has been collecting for over 50 years, originally with the intention of creating a museum, but his thoughts changed over time, and he began displaying them for his own enjoyment. Many of these treasures never made it out of their original shipping crates and were stored in West Memphis, Arkansas.

"Richmond Auctions is honored to bring these two one-of-a-kind collections to market on September 15^th and 16^th.Both world-class collections contain rare, high-quality pieces and we are proud to facilitate the transfer to new owners who will cherish them," said Jordan Richmond, Owner and Founder of Richmond Auctions.
