RM Sotherby’s Dingman Collection Neon Signs

We’ve got a rather large penchant for all things neon here at Coolector HQ and this is particularly true of the signage from 1950s/60s/7os America and that’s why this RM Sotherby’s Dingman Collection of Neon Signs has certainly captured our imagination and for anyone looking for some amazing, vintage style centrepieces for their home or office, you’re sure to find something that fits the bill within this magnificent auction.

The RM Sotherby’s Dingman Collection is going up for auction on the 23-34th of June and consists of a few vintage cars but the real star of the show is the stellar line up of neon signs that they’ve got to offer and fans of the bright lights that used to dot the highways and byways of the United States are sure to be in their element with the stunning lots to be found in this auction. With some recognisable brand names mixed with more local fare, there is a heady mix of options that has something for everybody.

Lighting the Way

There is something magical about neon signs and you’ll seldom get the chance to see so many iconic pieces bought together in one place than with this stunning line up from the Dingman Collection at RM Sotherby’s. The auction is taking place in New Hampshire and this breathtaking series of signage comes from longtime Ford Motor Company director, Michael Dingman, who had an abiding passion for the company’s iconic flathead V-8 models, not to mention an eye for the most striking original neon signs and nostalgia representing the great American Century.

This carefully chosen, perfectly maintained collection of neon signs with the Dingman Collection at RM Sotherby’s really is a sight to behold and harks back to a golden age of motoring and branding and we’re huge fans of all these incredible pieces here at Coolector HQ. There is such a diverse range of signage within this extensive collection that it’s difficult to know where to begin but you’ll find everything from Ford signs through to bait and tackle shops and hotel vacancy signs and everything in between.

For anyone that loves vibrant interior design endeavours and wants something to really bring their property to life and a focal point for the room, heading to this New Hampshire auction from RM Sotherby’s is definitely going to be time well spent. Whilst these vintage signs aren’t cheap as you might expect, there are many to choose from and, if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to bag one within your budget.

Awesome Americana 

A lot of people have a lot of love for vintage style Americana products and they don’t come much better than this stellar line up of neon signs from the Dingman Collection.
