Picked up a nice collection of B/A and White Rose Maps, A Fram Clock and a beautiful MF masonite sign today from a local memorabilia sale.

I also bought earlier this week a Gilbarco Calco Pump that was originally a Esso Diesel pump. Will post when I get it home I will post the pics of it.

Found this one 4 houses down the street. Amazing what can be in your own backyard! Too bad it had a few inches cut off.

I got a bunch of things this week for the first time. I usually pick up one or two things every few weeks. This time I went to a couple of estate sales and found several goodies at each one for cheap. They were basically giving it away.

This is the first place I went to:



The battery tenders are N.O.S. and so are 3 of the oil can spouts made by J-Mark. The spark plugs are as well.

First time ever, that I bought just one thing.

Picked up a bunch of STP large standing embossed wire racks and a bunch of STP small wall mounted wire racks Saturday.

Very nice Plymouth sign...unique small size...always thought they were cool!

I picked up a couple decent Wadhams signs and a barn hanger. To bad the bad one is the rarer design.

Also a tin Motorcraft Ford sign. The letters and Ford emblem are slightly embossed.

And a 8" round marble reflector sign....thing...anybody know what it is for? It has a cast aluminum housing about 1" thick.

My Indy Ad show buys. Must be the week for Lima OH items. Charm Oil from Radiant Oil Co. Looks like a pop bottle. Bought this from a guy walking through the show showing pictures to guys with gas and oil signs. He has another one in a little worse condition he wants to sell. Contact me for his info. The Puritan sign is a classic. A little different than the one I have. This one has Tractors on it.

WOW what a score!!!!!!!

Bought this a few weeks ago and it came in the mail last week. Minnitoys Texaco truck in well loved state.

Does any one know the name of the Manufacture of the Air nozzle with built in gauge in Strnge’s picture. I would love to find one.

It is made by Markol. I have found air drills from them, but never an air nozzele.

Here is a close up of the exide am radio I got in the first estate sale:

I found this sign hanger on a recent pickin trip. It was still hanging from the building with 3 chains and with a little detective work, I was able to locate the owner and he was happy that someone would take it down and actually "PAY" him for it!
The unique thing about this sign hanger is that its porcelain coated. I wasn't aware of that fact until I got it down and saw the finish and the makers mark on the mounting pipe! Really neat piece, now if I can just find a sign for it!! LOL Not positive on the date but it looks like it says "Made in the USA" 1909.

Sweet!

Nice Hood ornament Kevin w/ lights for each wheel!

A few signs i picked up! have not touched em yet,i did a small area & they will clean up,however ...........i just am not motivated to hit my knees & clean a sign! lol..... "beat" from a long weekend diggin ! Great stuff fellas!

OH I FORGOT TO TAKE A PIC, BUT I FOUND A KILLER "BRASS , HAND PUMP TIRE INFLATOR MADE BY FORD! ITS TOO NEAT I WILL SHARE LATER,HAS FORD STAMPED ALL OVER THE PIECE!

Chris, great score I'm totally jealous.

My contribution:
Yes it's fantasy, but it is petro, it fits a Wayne 70 and it's from T-way.

...probably 1939 or 1933...I think a Coke sign or Budweiser sign went on it...I had a Budweiser sign with a porcelain frame and hangers that were the same color....

I believe coca cola used these porcelain hangers on there fountain service signs ect.

I believe the last two posts are more correct of the time period for Kevin's large sign bracket. Very ART DECO and similar to the way some of the Coca-Cola signs were cut across the top. Don't think ART DECO was a style in 1909.

few more, I have always wanted the pure lighted sign.

The pure sign

Like that Pure lighted sign...

You guys are probably right! Very hard to read the date correctly but it sure could be 1939? The building it was attached to was never a service station. It was definitely a store front of some kind!---KEVIN

Wow, some great stuff.

My humble buys.....

Thanks to Scott for the cool mobil can


Got this at a local antique show this past weekend, stole it at $45. It's old, thick, and heavy for the size. Already on the shelf.

Photo of the only thing I got from my second estate sale I went to last week:

N.O.S.

And finally from the third estate sale:

Looks to be through 1969.




I have never seen a big jar of Bars Leaks. 1950 Gates belt and hose manual. Note the 1950 Echlin electrical parts catalog. It goes with the last item I picked up.



Echlin Cabinet

Picked up a pump I've been wanting for a long time, its been a tough pump to find in barn fresh, but I'm glad I was patient. It is a Bowser 99, the same as a 97 but with the air option. Thanks to Mike Horton for selling me this cool piece of cast iron.

Texaco restroom sign "BARNHANGER" dated 57 !
