Hi Rob
Thanks for the link. What a great collection. I too have a modest collection of BA items. I completed my apprenticeship in a BA gas station and when I took the business over Gulf had bought out BA. I of course had to completely clean the place up and threw out everything with BA identification. Luckily I have thrown out nothing since that time. I hope you can make it to the auction.
Cheers,
Barry

One of my first jobs ever was working as a gas jockey at the B/A station on the corner of 22nd Street and Marine Drive in West Vancouver. I believe that was back in 1968 or '69. Might have some pics kicking around still if you're interested.

Sorry guys, I just realized that I hadn't replied . Old age again. I didn't attend that auction as there was one local that had an interesting item I would have liked. It was a box (yes Chris another box) from the T Eaton Company. It was a nice wooden box for groceries. It was marked nicely with the Eaton name and instructions saying to return to Eatons and that the box was foldable. I never knew Eaton's sold groceries and I was intrigued by the fact that the box was able to be folded. Anyway I didn't get it. Eaton stuff is very collectable.$$$
Yes Derek photos are good.
Cheers,
Barry
