"Goodbye Macken, see you tomorrow."
Yes, the worn but almost beloved quote can be used with advantage for a few days in this October month of 2023. Thanks to Auktionsmagasinet in Vänersborg, who, under the headline "Macken," presents 30 lots with connections to life at a gas station. In fact, all the items originate from a gas station in western Sweden that was open during the time when you stopped to refuel and get help with a wiper blade, not like now to buy coffee. In the mixed assortment, a grand GULF sign with a diameter of 155 cm stands out! From the same brand, a handful of oil bars is available, along with the reminder that GULF gave a 2% rebate in 1973. A couple of other expected highlights are the advertising signs for Läkerol and Austin Service. They are seen next to a couple of ever-smiling ice cream clowns, a collection of hubcaps, and an exhaust system for the eternal machine Volvo 240.
Feel welcome to stop by Macken at Auktionsmagasinet Vänersborg. Who knows, maybe there will be coffee?
