Interesting comments by all. I'd ask you all to name the most knowledgeable person you know in the U.S. with regard to gasoline pump globes. Scott Benjamin & Lonnie Hop come immediately to mind.....followed very closely IMO by Aaron Hop. Don't know Aaron's exact age, but he's still in college.....so probably 19-21. And I've heard Lonnie say more than once that Aaron's the one with all the knowledge locked up there in his head.....something about old age and brain farts!!
With folks like Aaron, JJ, Darin, Tara & Wes, Scott (quartcans) and a host others I see here on Oldgas and at shows and auctions(that's people 25-35 years younger than me), I'm confident that when it's time to auction off MY stuff, there's gonna be lots of collectors out there that will bid high and often to grab it all up. Right now's probably not the best time to do that, but 5 years down the road..........?
