The Sam McIntyre Collection – Sam McIntyre was a legendary Standard, Esso, and Exxon collector who worked for the Standard Oil Company for over 30 years. He spent years educating collectors on all things Esso and was the author of the Essays Collectibles Handbook. Sam’s knowledge of the brand’s history was unmatched, and he was considered the authority on the brand. Richmond Auctions is honored to offer items from Sam’s incredible collection.
The David Webb Collection – The title 'The One-Man Swap Meet', earned through six decades as an active collector, David Webb often said he was blessed with a healthy hunter and gatherer gene, traversing the North American continent from sea to shining sea. The calendar did not tell David months or seasons, only the date of the next swap meet and the direction to point the van. To think of a lifetime collection as static would be an error; they are always in a state of flux, being curated, upgraded, tweaked and modified ever so slightly, if not completely. Richmond Auctions is thrilled to offer items from David’s wonderful collection.
