For the past eighteen years, Wm Morford’s absentee auctions (Mail, Fax & Phone bid) have specialized in providing our clientele with the very best in rare and unusual vintage Antique Advertising collectibles. During this time, our auctions have grown to become among the most anticipated and well reported upon events in the antique advertising and Maxfield Parrish collecting hobbies.
With a heavy emphasis on quality, rarity and condition, our auctions focus on the higher end of the market, featuring the unique and harder to find items for the serious and discriminating advanced collector. We are a small, boutique style specialty auction house that strives to provide our clients with excellence, professionalism and a level of customer service, guidance and objective advice that has become almost unique in a collectibles marketplace that today is increasingly being driven by impersonal e-commerce sites and big box factory style corporate auction houses.
A typical Morford auction will feature a broad selection of scarce and beautiful graphic advertising tins (including store bins, tins, boxes and packaging), as well as early signs, posters, cabinets, serving trays, display pieces and advertising smalls. In addition to our antique advertising specialty, our sales typically will also include a nice sprinkling of items from other various collectible categories as well (often including such items as occupational shaving mugs, miniature salesman samples, trade signs, comic character toys, coin-op machines, political items, sports collectibles, early toys and games and vintage Maxfield Parrish items).
We generally run from three to five auctions each year, showcasing fresh to the market discoveries that have been personally and carefully hand selected for you from established collections and our network of leading dealers and pickers throughout North America.
