Spotted some good items, but only took home a few. The maps were cheap and I do not usually see Humble. The Skelly Presidential Digest is in great shape, not written in, but I bet there are a ton of them around. I took a gamble on the Empire can, hope it payed off, but I love the look, I got the guys number, he has another one, but its not Outboard.

The way I look at it if you bought it to keep and like it, regardless what someone says for value it doesn't matter what you paid. enjoy it on the shelf.

Good point, and yes this one is a keeper. Its always fun to know if you got a good deal though, right? Plus if the price is right, I would like to buy the other one he had.

Your right, I didnt even think to put them there. Can a moderator move it?
They want $35 for the other can, Its full, has the Empire logo in a circle and a car zooming by at the bottom, same size. Worth it?

WARM WATER AND DISH SOAP. TRY A LITTLE SAMPLE AREA ON THE BACK ...SEE HOW IT GOES. WD-40 WILL WORK AS WELL.

I WISH WE STILL HAD THE OLD STYLE FLEA MARKETS HERE. 30-40 YEARS AGO, PEOPLE WOULD BRING THEIR STUFF TO SELL AND SET UP 2 DAYS A WEEK IN THE LOCAL DRIVE-IN MOVIE THEATER. IT WAS LIKE ONE HUGE YARDSALE.
AS TIME WENT ON, FLEA MARKETS TOOK OVER CLOSED DEPT STORES AND SOLD NOTHING BUT NEW ITEMS, MOSTLY JEWELRY AND CLOTHES....BOOOOORING! LOL!
