The single-sided porcelain sign for Carhartt, Inc. – a heavy-duty work wear company founded in Detroit in 1899 that later expanded into other locations, including Canada – measured 18 inches by 72 inches and was graded near-perfect at 9.5. It more than doubled the $12,000 high estimate.

The Peabodys ("Railroad King") Overalls sign was one of the surprise lots of the two days. It came into the sale with a $6,000 high estimate, but ended up more than tripling that. The sign was 15 inches by 48 inches. Peabodys made uniforms for the British Army during World War I.

The Canadian 1940s White Rose Dealer sign was the rare 24-inch diameter double-sided version of one of Canada's most recognizable petroliana signs. It was marked "P&M" to the lower center edge and graded 8.75 on both sides. It also had the correct teardrop hangers plus a wall bracket.

A Canadian 1920s single-sided porcelain sign for Moir's Chocolates ("The Universal Gift"), 14 inches by 46 inches and rare, graded 9.25 in excellent condition and boasting a superb raised field, with the original grommets, surpassed the $5,000 high estimate by gaveling for $8,260.
