most came from fellow OldGas members...

Lots of Cities Service:











...and a really neat Mobil truck sign, and found a picture at Iowa that I think shows the sign on the side behind the passenger door:






and very very happy to add this to my collection: grin

Didnt get to go to Iowa this year but did get these two signs at the auction. Been looking for the mobilgas special for awhile. Didnt want to buy both but hey it worked out in the end and i got a good deal.

That Skunk Oil qt is Killer!

Here are a couple of the better pumps I bought at Iowa Gas, I ended up buying 9 pumps at the show.
The Erie clockface was missing one of the super rare molded window glass and a face plate. Would you believe I found the glass at the show, it was laying on a table at the far end of the parking lot, I bought it and ran back and bought the pump along with the W60.

I picked up 4 frames and some face plates. 1 is a twin/double pump. I will be going back and buying a pair of doors, a top, some misc parts, 23 computers and 2 computers that went on the back of trucks that delivered gas. One has a printer. The guy went to a bulk plant years ago and picked it all up. Im getting it all for a steal.

Thanks
Noah

Ed that's a killer ford sign ya got there.
Rock
Thanks Rock, had the car to go with it awhile back.
Good story behind this one I'll tell when I see you.
Doug, I think it was for the vulcanizing and reconditioning of used/damaged tires. Pretty neat how it worked with steam. I'll post some pictures of inside the book later this week.
Well here are my IG buys in the first picture. Thank you Maurice and a couple of other people. The other pictures are of stuff I've accumulated over the last several months but have not posted. Mitch

are you going to restore the pump? i've got one thats the same model, but just havent figured out what "brand" to do it in.
Love these old Texaco cans with the black text. I need to find the one that doesn't say "NEW".
