The Canadian Eco Model 160 "Clock Face" Red Rose gasoline pump is the star lot of the Dec. 7 auction and the expected top achiever of the three days. It's a remarkable survivor of a Model 160 "clock face" gas dispenser with a glowing dial and a lit Red Rose Gasoline globe on top. This early piece of petroliana history should sell for $25,000-$35,000.

All estimates are in Canadian dollars.

Lot #685 is a Canadian 1920s single-sided porcelain sign for Five Roses Flour ("The World's Best Flour"), 41 ¾ inches by 26 inches, graded 8.25 for condition, with great color and gloss. Five Roses became a pantry staple across Canada following its launch in 1888 by the Lake of the Woods Milling Co. (Keewatin, Ontario). The sign is expected to go for $15,000-$20,000.
