It was a tall 10 Dayton. This is due to the fact that OH regulated that all cylinder sizes be no greater than 10" in diameter for fear of breaking. That is why alot of tall tens turn up in OH. I do think it uses the same skins as the 600 Dick, not totally sure though.


Thanks, Phil

Shows like this one, Pawn Stars and Barrett-Jackson ruin it for the average "Joe".

People that have this stuff and watch this show now ask for the "valued" or "sold" price, when in fact their item might not be worth the inflated price as seen on TV.

Case in point, I used to buy up old Ford trucks and parts for minimal amount of money. Well, after Barrett-Jackson hit record prices, all of the rusty junk went up in price. It's like rust is the new gold.

These guys have a website,antiquearcheology.com They have pictures of some of their finds, I bought one item from them a couple years ago on ebay, didn't know it was them at the time.I have seen other items of theirs on ebay also, for instance, that Mayflower moving lighted plastic sign on one episode, I watched that sell for 1200.00. I did not pay attention to the user id though.


Still looking for that Union 76 ball
And I collect big old porcelain neon signs
