No good stuff, just junk that has to be fixed.

I picked up this Red Crown thermometer for $75.00 on one of my road trips and the Sinclair HC sign (that's a 9.5) for a steal at Iowa Gas after one of the experts in the hobby passed because it wasn't good enough??? URL=http://img718.imageshack.us/i/dscf2246k.jpg/]  [/URL]

 Hands down it has to be my MFA Oils and Greases globe. It took two years of me breaking Jarvis down before I got it.
Originals only for me. Always looking for Simpson oil, Super A, and MFA oil cans and globes.

I had a great year!!!! The swap meets were good to me, but my favorite buys of the year were these 2 therms I plucked off eBay. They don't show up often, so I'm lucky to bring them home!!!  
see me at Mason Dixon Gas, Spring Carlisle M114-115, and Hershey C4E-35.
