Does anyone have a St Louis clockface like the one in the picture with the double nozzle hanger. I am missing a couple of pieces on my nozzle hanger and had some questions.
Any help would be great!

INVESTMENT-GRADE TIME CAPSULE – 100% MINT & UNUSED CONDTION 🔥

"Store Display Specimen Not Originally for Public Sale" Appraised at $195.00.

This is not your average closet-find pocket knife. This store display specimens were never actually meant to be sold to the public. It was discovered tucked deep inside the internal storage housing of an Remington retail storefront cutlery display case.
Rather than standard commercial inventory, this knife was designated exclusively for the store's primary merchandising unit. Shielded entirely from customer handling, dust, sunlight, and moisture, it sat completely untouched for over three decades until it was carefully removed to take these photos. Because it was never separated from its original housing, the knife, factory box, and ultra-rare paperwork insert remain in immaculate, preservation-level condition. It has never been pocketed, carried, or sharpened.

The factory finishes, the box, and the ultra-rare cardboard wrapper band are preserved in immaculate, condition. It has never been carried, pocketed, or sharpened. It is an absolute time capsule.
The last photo on this listing shows the other two knives that were found with the Bullet Knive, they are all being offered for sale, although I will probably create listing for them separately.

I'm more than $500 into these and not trying to make a home run. If you've ever had anything framed up , you know it's not cheap.
These need to move on to their new home.
If you are interested, message me with your offer.

...you need to have this priced, to post in this category - otherwise, it should be posted in the 'without prices' category...

They look like fairly nice signs to match the muscle car era, shouldn't have much trouble selling for your price.

Authentic 1979 Energy Crisis "Half-Gallon Pricing" Gas Station Pump Sign

Rare Stamped Metal Double-Sided Insert — Genuine Barn Find
(Free Shipping for Domestic U.S. Buyers)

Up for sale is a true mid-century barn find: an authentic 1979 energy crisis gas station pump sign, discovered wrapped up safely inside an old potato sack. Finding a metal version of this sign is extremely rare. This appraised at $325 to $375. I'm currently taking offers on this piece. Also considering interesting trades in comparable value, antique toys or WW2 memorbilia is of interest. When I first got this sign, I couldn't understand exactly what it was trying to say, eventually I talked to someone from the Peterson Auto Museum and they were able to give me some context...its a oddball piece of automobilia that I've never seen another exact example of.

**HISTORICAL CONTEXT:** During the 1979 oil crisis, gasoline prices skyrocketed past $1.00 per gallon for the first time in American history. Because older mechanical gas pumps were physically incapable of computing past 99.9 cents, stations temporarily switched their pump computers to calculate pricing by the half-gallon. This sign was mounted directly on the pump island to inform frustrated drivers to double the price shown on the pump face. The strict, official wording on the sign was to show customers that the double-pricing policy was an official system, not a scam by the station owner.
Metal examples of these temporary signs are extremely rare, as most were made of cheap cardboard and thrown away.

**SIGN FEATURES:** • Material: Stamped metal construction, typical of 1970s service station pump inserts.

It's a strange world, I just got this piece back in a trade for a old sign...
so if anyone is interested it is for sale.

[b] Vintage 1920s-1930s Michigan Automobilia Framed Collage - Found Just Like it Sits.

An exceptional piece of early American automotive history and regional Michigan ephemera. This unique, custom-framed display brings together authentic promotional and regulatory documents tracking a local dealership through the Golden Age of the automobile.The collection centers around "Carl Schopp Auto Sales," featuring prominent vintage stenciled lettering alongside an early 5-digit phone number (27-491), localized stencils for "Auto-Loans" and "J.J. Burkeins," and a rare period newspaper advertisement for "The New Indian Winter Gas" ("Have you tried It Yet?").

Framed securely behind glass within a rustic, wide-profile wood frame, the centerpiece of this lot is a chronological sequence of four original, official Department of State Licenses to buy, sell, or deal in motor vehicles or parts within the State of Michigan. The sequence includes:One (1) 1926 State of Michigan Dealer License (featuring its original blue seal)Two (2) 1928 State of Michigan Dealer Licenses (featuring original green and yellow seals) One (1) 1930 State of Michigan Dealer License (featuring its original orange-yellow seal)Condition:The documents exhibit fantastic, authentic character with expected age-toning, gentle creasing, and bold, distinct state seals. The wood frame shows minor superficial shelf wear and character marks consistent with age, complementing the historic nature of the collection. A superb display piece ready for any garage, office, or automobilia collection.Dimensions: 24" x 34". This item appraised for $250.00, so I feel my price is reasonable.

The center clipping advertises "The New INDIAN Winter Gas — Have YOU tried It Yet?" Indian Gas was an early independent brand of petroleum refined and distributed across the Midwest during the interwar period.

I didn't see you at CTO and maybe this is why. HAHA
Congratulations on the retirement.

Plastic has gotten a lot desirable over the years!!
Saying you don't want to Wholesale and want strong money... that will require selling each piece separate yourself. Anyone that buys it for resale will want it for a lot less than its worth and if buying it all at one time its even worse.
You being in Canada makes this a little more difficult as you could go to swap meets in person but not sure about swap meets up there. There is always marketplace on facebook if you can weed through the idiots and ship.

Good luck!!

You're welcome, Treighcee. And yes, please keep us posted if you learn more about these Earth Moons. John

Yes, the guts are concealed, so think about "engineering" a modification of the MILTON solenoid that's available. Best of luck, John
