I got this Phillips 66 25# grease can to complete the set of 1,5,10 & 25 pounders. I was really happy about that. Also got this 5 quart which is shipping to 5 qt later this week. A few quarts and a neat Sinclair Power X Bennett gas pump bank.

Picked up this globe this weekend. Always liked this one. Life's getting back to "normal"!

Some of you guys made me show my cards early on the globe post, but there's still more new goodies at the Poor Man's place. My little throw away ad has been quite productive. Here's what I picked up on Friday (working off the turkey) and Saturday. Spent all day today cleaning, polishing and re-arranging the museum.

This is the back of my truck on Saturday after picking up a free Bennett 2056 and some cans in Nipomo, CA and then cleaning out a guys backyard and storage sheds in Orcutt, CA



Here's what it looked like after it was unloaded (without the pump).



On my lumber rack was this "little" canopy sign that's now on my barn (barely fit).



Didn't get enough on Friday so I went back for more on Saturday. Picked up the Flying A plates in Paso Robles, CA and then went back to Orcutt, CA to buy a Butler 30 pump with original cylinder and globe, bottle rack and some signs. First Aid kit and Hess truck were garage sale finds.



The pump was restored but the guy had never assembled it so the picture shows some of the parts.

Overall a good month for the Poor Man's Museum. Had to raise my price limit, but I got a lot of value for my money and met some nice people too.

I picked up a green porcelain National A-1 from a guy here in So. Cal. It's missing the glass (repro's made by Slama) one of the stainless spears (repro by T-Way), I need some new face plates, and the stainless mounting pieces to hold the glass in. Does anyone have the stainless pieces and mounting hardware?






I also got these three pictures off ebay. The artist takes the photos with an old polaroid camera, and then before the emulsion sets, she manipulates it with a tool to get the different look. I thought they were kind of cool.Make good Xmas gifts.


I also got this minature "tip up can", it's very cool, so small. I think I'll make some decals for the sides?
Hope you all did as well.

YOUR BOTW HOST!

Dragged home another pump tonight. Figured 30 bucks for a "modern" pump wasn't bad. My son already has dibs on it for his bedroom. I believe that it's a Smith L3-DP.



Working on a big Mobil sign that I posted on General Discussion so look at it and tell me what I should pay.
Thanks
