THESE ARE MY BUYS FROM THE MASON-DIXON SHOW ON SATURDAY. I NO SOONER SOLD A COKE BUTTON SIGN TO FELLOW OLDGASSER ARCHER2 AND BOUGHT THIS GLOBE FOR THE SAME PRICE AS THE SIGN FROM A FELLOW ACROSS THE AISLE! ALWAYS LIKED THIS CROWN LOGO AND THE MIRROR EFFECT.... (THIS IS MY 3RD ORIGINAL GLOBE). LATER I SOLD A SET OF MY INVADER LENSES AND THEN WALKED OVER TO THE ED NATALE TABLE ACROSS THE WAY AND BOUGHT THIS SIGN FOR THE SAME MONEY FROM THE LENSES.... (I SWEAR THIS SIGN WAS WINKING AT ME THE WHOLE SHOW...THANKS GUYS!) THEN A SMALL ASSORTMENT OF LOW DOLLAR CANS THAT CAUGHT MY EYE.... HOPE YOU ALL DID AS GOOD AS OR BETTER THAN ME....POST 'EM NO MATTER HOW SMALL OR BIG! THANKS!

I had a good week. I saw an ad in Kijiji last Saturday for this Rare Cadillac Official Service sign. It was 4.5 hours from me. We settled on the price and the guy agreed to hold it until I could get down to it on Tuesday. This guy was a stand up guy. He was underselling the sign and he had had calls through the week from collectors that were willing to pay double what he was asking. However he stood by his decision to hold it at the asking price until Tuesday. I Got it home and it cleaned up nicely. It is a 40" x 30 DSP very very heavy sign. I am fabricating a bracket to display it appropriately. Side A Side B While at the guys place he mentioned he had three other signs a 6 x 4 Champion sign, and two lighted signs one a Bosch spark Plug sign and a Michelin lighted sign. I also picked up a few very small signs (not something I typically buy) I will get pics and post them later in this week.

Got a call from a man about two hours away who saw my listing in the Oldgas.com Collectors Roster. Went up Saturday with the intention to possibly buy one HPX 5 gallon oil can. We talked and I left with 21 various 5 gallon cans. Only one was an HPX from JD Streett. Others were 3 different Mobil styles, Sinclair and Wolf's Head. Hi, my name is Jim and I'm a petroholic.

First some Peotone buys: Tara scored some Pierce Pennant items. Here's an unusual Sinclair Pennant logo room service cover from one of the Pierce Motor Inns. It's sitting on a stack of 2 Pierce Pennant logo soup bowls, one of which is also a BOTW. Next, a very unusual key tag from the Pierce Motor Inn in Rolla on US 66. I got this neat old compressor from "canosaurus" Dave, with riveted brass tank and valves, and gold painted accents. We also picked up the blue-background version of the Speedway 79 globe from Lonnie and Aaron Hop. The D-X globe was a total surprise -- a birthday gift from Tara! I'm really glad to finally have one - it's just like the one that some guy snatched out of my hands (literally!!) at the Hoosier show a couple years back. Wes

I had a friend tell me about an oil bottle that he had, when I ran into him at a local supper club about 2 weeks ago. He asked if I might be interested in it as he had NO interest in it and thought it would eventually get destroyed or thrown out. I told him that I was always interested in that sort of thing and would be happy to aquire it. Well "LO AND BEHOLD" he drove up to my house a couple days ago and handed me this nice JB Rhodes bottle that is embossed "HAVOLINE" on the back side. The spout even has the JB Rhodes stamp on it! Pretty nice treat to get from an old friend and he wouldn't think of taking anything for it!!
