I agree with Chris, The rain certainly didnt dampen the enthusiasium and excitment of the show. Cheese and Dawn put alot of work into the show and we greatly appreciate it. I was able to get a GREAT DEAL on an original Mobil pam clock
which made getting up at 5:00am all worth while. Prices at the show seemed to be very reasonable and there we alot of people carring new treasures to there vehicles. I seen a large Mobil 5 point shield sign with the white star logo at the bottom in good condition for an asking price of $650.00.There were a pair of Tokheim 36b's, A RapidDayton cash recorder pump, And numerous visibles,air meters and globes looking for a new home.
Cheese, thanks for another great show and God Bless. (is it too early to start the countdown till the sping show?)
This was our first time at Michigan Gas and despite the weather it was great. Cheese and Dawn took the time to make us feel welcome, can't wait for the next one. I met a few new people, Ron Bettin, Just Bill, also met T-Way and Jodi, everyone was terrific. Sorry I didn't get to put more faces with the names. T-Way, after my wife asked you about that pump, next thing she's buying it and we're driving 4 1/2 hours home with the trunk propped open (LOL). Now, I have to convince her my new globe will look terrific on top!
I'm hearing great things, except for the weather. This is really what the hobby is all about, having fun! And it sounds to me like Cheese and Company know how do do it and make everyone feel welcome in the process. Hopefully, I'll make it to next Spring's show. (Maybe if there's any interest, I'll bring a Woco-Pep globe to sell! LOL)
I sure would like to buy it a fair, reasonable price of ---- say ----- 1750--- plus shipping---- what da say???? LOL
hey roger thats a little high. cheese
Cheese...
"A little high" Aw come on now..you're killin' me!
Roger...I think that's fair,(if you'd been in the line in front of me) Since I'm not a dealer, just a simple minded collector, I'll keep your offer in mind. Never know when I might get a deal on a Cobra and need some fast cash!!!!! [Going to Carlisle would be cool in a Cobra!]
oh joe i was just funning. cheese
Cheese...
I know ya were. Me too. I hope Roger feels the same.
P.S. After all the work you did, I hope you had time to enjoy your show too.

Thanks for the pic's. Looks like a great selection of globes!! Dwaine, you're right, looks like rain early this week at Fred's, maybe a chance of showers Fri. or Sat., temps mid 60's. We'll still put on a great show no matter what. See you Friday!
You no that other saying Tom, no muff to tuff, I was there year before when there was four inches of water on the field, There's more pictures to view at another site if you wish to look. You don't have to only if you would like to. HTH, and have a nice day if you can.
