Jack, I really enjoyed looking through that, Thanks for putting it together. Also nice format, easy to look at pics!!
Must have been fun helping with the pumps, chatting about them, and getting pics for your book.
Did you get to talk to the (former) owner and find out how long it took to find it all, how long he collected, if he kept a few favorites, etc, etc???
Thanks for the report..dodogas

Bettin, I talked to Jack at the auction and I am sure he was leaving before the Globe sign sold. I would have considered it about an 8 as it did have some chipping and the hammer went down at about $3000.

I was there to sell my book and everytime I went over to the sale building someone wanted to buy a book. Many of the buyers were new at this so they were asking me a lot of questions. Missed a lot of the bid prices.
