OKAY...LET'S START OFF THE NEW WEEK BY SHOWING EVERYBODY WHAT YOU BOUGHT LAST WEEK!

"OLDOIL" DON OLDGAS MEMBER WAS NICE ENOUGH TO SHARE A BIT OF HIS PREVIOUS WEEKS BOTW WITH ME...A COUPLE OF SEEDMAN OIL CANS. I WAS EXCITED TO HAVE THESE SINCE I WORKED FOR THE T.S.S. (TIMES SQUARE STORES) OWNED BY SEEDMAN'S WAY BACK 30 YEARS AGO.
THESE ARE COOL CANS!



THESE I FOUND AT A LOCAL YARDSALE YESTERDAY MORNING!



SO LET'S SEE WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE BOUGHT THIS PAST WEEK!

THANKS!

Another productive week for me!
This went into "my tire collectors" private collection!

I found this yesterday!SOLD IT TODAY!




I ran the guy up to $1050 on the shell sign at Shipshewanna(Pictured in antique weekly)
Then the auctioneer offered me 2 more for less money! So I bought both!!!!

5 shell signs were recently discovered in Georgia! ALL n/o/s...

Nice clocks Mick especially the tresler comet. Was this the auction down around the cincy area that also had the neon wolf's head clock ? If so how did it do;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;Ron

Another good week for me. Got this double sided sign off of eBay. I have seen a few like it before but not very many. Double sided porcelain. Has a few buggers in it but still a nice sign. I would guess from the 1960's.



Just got back last night from a road trip, got a few more items to post later.

Here is a cool Kendall can for my rocker can collection. Has a picture of the Kendall refinery on it. Always looking for more.

Mick, That flame looks awesome on the pump. I like it, I like it alot!!!

A few more buys from last weekend. We went on a road trip to a friends house to do some shoping. Also got to see a fantastic collection on the way home.

First is an old paint sign, the guy gave it to me, it should clean up nice when I get time.



Next is a pile of cans. I do not look for cans but again, the price was right. They are in decent shape, need a good cleaning.



Also got an ATF keg for a trash can.

Few more items,
A nice map rack, no older than 1959 due to the logo. It will sit on a counter or the legs fold up so you can hang it on the wall. I need a few maps for it yet.



A couple porcelain signs. They may be ARCO but I do not know for sure. Double sided.



This is a generic sign that was used by Sinclair in Sinclair Wyoming.

Last couple pictures

Dad got this old Tokheim pump



And I got this National A-38. The book says they were made from 1938-1949. I also put up the old chalk board in the background a few weeks ago. It was used at the bulk plant where my grandpa and dad used to work.



Put the pump up on gas pump row after I wired up the base with a plug in and checked the pump wiring.

Here is my Buy of the Week, I just got it home last night. Since I took this picture this afternoon I allready have it stripped down to the frame and gutted out.

Great stuff there guys!
Brought these back from Michigan Gas last weekend.
