Memorabilia sales at Valve and Piston have escalated since 2020. Recently, Frank Kilton of Valve and Piston helped sell a worldwide collection of vintage automobiles, porcelain petroleum signage, gas pumps, milk glass globes, oil tins, vintage automotive testing machines, Coca-Cola items, and other vintage collectibles.
