Morning everyone.

Here's a couple of things I got over the last few weeks. Actually, the Wayne came a couple of months ago - but it's been in an out-building and I just got it moved into the Coop so I could get a shot of it. The Flying 'A' shoebox glass panels came off of e-bay. They are perfect. I need the 'globe' body now to make everything complete. (Anybody got an extra sitting around?)





The pump is mostly complete. It will need new side panels and the back VR frame is missing - but it came with one new front 'door'! Everything else it needs is re-bopped so none of it will be a problem. And I got it for about 1/4 of what these normally go for.

Later . . .

Jim

Here's my latest goodies, I have bodies for all of these, I just haven't cleaned them up and put them all together yet. The Richfield, Crown and Regular are NOS. I have about 25 pumps and I am collecting original globes for each pump. I have already started matching up all my globes for each pump restoration;







Here's three NOS metal signs one of my friends gave me. Sure, there not worth anything now but that's what they said about porcelain signs 40 years ago;



Thanks for looking, HAPPY HUNTING TO ALL!!

Neal
