Most of the time, collector car auction sites tend to focus on precisely that – collectible automobiles, or those built in larger quantities that are in nicer condition with lower miles, making them somewhat compelling for different types of people. However, from time to time, we also come across some pretty cool Ford related memorabilia listed for sale via online collector car sites, too. Now, that has happened yet again, this time, with a vintage Ford service station garbage can that would look right at home in a Blue Oval fan’s office or garage.
This vintage Ford service station garbage can is set to be auctioned off at Mecum’s upcoming Indianapolis, Indiana sale in May, and it’s apparently a legitimate piece that was once present in that type of establishment. It’s unclear what year the trash can might hail from, but it’s clearly an old piece, given not only its vintage design, but also, the old fashioned Ford Blue Oval logo that’s hand-painted painted on it.
The auction listing doesn’t provide us with much information about this cool old Ford trash can, other than the fact that its dimensions are 16 x 43 x 16 inches, and it’s been restored at some point, which is quite obvious given its stellar condition. It’s hard to say what someone might be willing to pay for such a piece, but it’s also being sold with no reserve, so it’ll only take one bid to bring the trash can home – unless there’s more than one interested party.
In any case, we’ve certainly seen our fair share of cool Ford memorabilia hit the auction block in recent months, and this is just the latest example of that. The list also includes a Ford Flathead V8 coffee table, a reproduction Ford “jubilee” crest sign, and a neon Ford service sign, to name just a few.
