Nathan Lippe: Antique Advertising

Overview

Inspired by his uncle, Nathan Lippe developed a unique passion for collecting antique advertising at a young age. Now fueled by the thrill of the hunt, Nathan scours the country for neon signs and saves them from destruction. Nathan has a well-curated collection of antique oil cans, tin signs, and neon signs. Nathan shares some of his favorites with host, Lisa Whelchel, from a charming Reddy Kilowatt neon sign to a prop sign used in the classic baseball film, Field of Dreams. Kate Martin, appraiser of personal property, tackles the high sticker prices on Nathan's collection and shocks Lisa with her appraisal of an Oz-themed oil can. Nathan specializes in collecting advertising for soda brand, Double Cola, but Kate brings along a collectible set of Coca Cola signs to persuade our collector into a trade.
