Indirectly related,
it's a can sealer/lidder. This one is set for food cans, but I will modify it for oil cans and add a motor [I'm LAZY, takes 20 turns of the crank for 1 can].

Bought this globe today. First pictured lens is nice with a few scratches. The second pictured lens is cracked from around 4 o'clock to 7 o'clock and in about an 1.5. This is the only way I could afford this globe right now. I will get a better lens later.



Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

(POSTING FOR CHAD PATE a.k.a. DCPATE):

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Doc, could you insert this Mobil oil rack in next weeks BOTW? It's a survivor, I don't think its ever been cleaned. Both porcelain signs are in excellent shape. I'd been working on this sign for about 2 years...

Doc,
Could you please post for me again, thanks for the help!!

Followed up on a couple of leads and went farming in Illinois yesterday. The first gentlemen had quite a few pumps including a couple of clockfaces, unfortunately he wanted well above Jack's book prices. I left discouraged and decided to make one more stop. I knocked on the door and told the farmer a friend told me he may have a pump for sale. He took me out to the machine shed and I had to hold my smile back when I saw it was this 5 gallon Fry, made it a worthwile trip.

Here is my dads buy of the week, a Tokheim Cut 850. It served its time in a county road maintence shed. No the globe did not come with it, but it looks right at home.

I think that some people think that good stuff just falls out of the sky and lands in my lap. The truth is that I have had some lucky finds, but I still like some good old fashioned as found garage sale goodies.

A guy called my on my ad and said that he had some cans in his grandfathers garage that I might like. Sounded interesting so I went to look. He had a few five gallon cans set aside for me along with some smaller goodies. I asked if I could look through the garage and his grandmother said sure. Had my own private garage sale.

Nothing too exciting, but a handful of gas geek stuff including some more oil spouts.

I love a cheap date!

(POSTING FOR DAVE BOWMAN)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Doc, maybe you can post this on the BOTW for Dave Bowman. He checks the site from time to time, but doesn't seem to post. He should, he has one heck of a collection of pumps.
