NEXT WEEK I WILL BE HOSTING "BUYS OF THE YEAR!"....SO THINK ABOUT WHAT YOUR FAVE 3 BUYS WERE FOR THE YEAR 2009.

OKAY FOR ME THIS WEEK.....

FROM A FRIEND WHO CHANGES OUT GAS STATION SIGNS...


FROM A LOCAL TAG SALE...


AND FROM EBAY....

NEVER HAD A 1-GALLON INVADER CAN, SO THIS IS A FIRST FOR ME!

LET'S SEE HOW WELL YOU ALL DID.

THANKS AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!

1930s MAZDA LAMP DISPLAY

Got some buys and a couple Christmas presents too.

First I bought a paint job for my Wayne 70. It came out nice, I need to swap out the base and put it all back together. I got the pump at Peotone last Fall. The replacement base is gloss black






Next I bought a Wayne 851 from my dad. We had it painted a while back but never got it put back together. A project for this winter. Anyone know where to get new glass for it?






Not sure what this originally went to;



It is porcelain with an HC decal on it. Anyone have any ideas? I thought maybe part of a pump? It is about 16 X 30.

Another Turbo can I did not have;



Another plastic lens to make a ceiling light out of. This is the smaller size of this sign;

Also got one of these. Grandpa was given one by Sinclair back when he was a dealer. I got this one and had the local plaque guy make up a thing with dads name on it. Dad was a Sinclair dealer also but never got a plaque because ARCO bought out Sinclair soon after he started working for them.

My only buy.

your only buy thats a good buy jarvis i like it. now you need to put it on a pump

Now if i can just restore a pump... i have the super 100 globe and sign. I guess i could use another sign for the back? LOL

Here are my buys. Got these from fellow oldgasser, Dave Rowlison:

Not a lot of really old stuff for me. Mainly items from the 60s, 70s and some 80s. I'm starting to hedge my collection. Another 20-30 years and this 70s and 80s stuff will be collectible.

I went to an abandoned property auction on Sunday and bought the remains of a small shed. Paid a few dollar less than $20 for everything. A lot of household and auto cleaning products, plus some other misc items. I brought a few boxes home, but this is the only stuff that was valuable to me. The rest will be given or thrown away.

I don't collect these but because they are local I bought them. Found a matchcover to go with them. The outside of the matchcover advertised their restaurant next door. Harold ran the station & Elmer the restaurant. I missed taking a picture of the station by a week. Wesco has torn the old station down to do a groundup rebuild that covers both properties.

Nice stuff! Did you know that the Micro Cork Grease is for a clarinet? Used a lot of those up back in the day.

these baby just came in today--g/b- tok 850-m/s 19
if i get a space might be turlock bound

Nice M&S, that was mine about a year ago, cool it went from East coast to West coast

I picked up some gas and oil related smalls:





And a few non-petro related items. I won't ever be able to afford something original "Polly", but these came close, lol.

Here are some pumps from the last week and today. A Gilbarco, a Tokheim 36-B and a Wayne 40A

Nice bunch of pumps Alex. Richard

I second that

Nice pump haul Alex.

Thanks guys. 09 was kind of a "dry year" for items for me. But the last two weeks sure made up for it. And the asking prices were very reasonable.

I picked this up today. I'm posting it here because it's not really worthy of a "Buy of the Year" but I still wanted to share...

Cool cans there Wes
No punt intended
