All prices quoted in this report are in Canadian dollars and include an 18 percent buyers premium. The two-session, online-only sale featured the Jason Patzer collection with a morning session and an evening session. A total of 437 lots came up for bid. Patzer was a successful home builder. He took collecting seriously, sourcing rare variations. He held nothing back in his quest for rare Canadian petroliana. Results from the Patzer collection prove that the pulse for petroliana continues, said Ethan Miller, the president and owner of Miller & Miller Auctions, Ltd. While condition is playing a greater factor than it was a few years ago, key signs soared past expectations. All in all, it was a successful sale. Most of the higher-dollar items were offered in the morning session.
