Ouch , that had to have hurt..................... in more ways than one too !!!!!!!!! Ed Shaver

It's not as important as to what happens to you as it is how you react to it. It could have been a lot worse. Remarkably the skins were untouched. A new acrylic cylinder, a new reproduction dome top and a reproduction globe and I'm back to new again. I figured 4 guys lifting it into place that it was heavy enough to not blow over. My Tokheim 39 stood there for 6 years and never moved. I guess 11'3" tall makes a lot better sail than a 7' square block. It's only money,it's only money,it's only money I keep telling myself. $500 could have bought me a nice globe. I'll never put another pump outside without anchor bolts. Live and learn.

Home owners ins. might have paid for damage

Wow is that broken clear glass and tear drops....

Homeowners deductable was just a little less than the damage.

we had a big storm come by to visit this summer and it blew the globe off a pump I have out side. I found it in my scrap pile the capco body was busted up were the screws hold it down the wind just ripped it off the pump.

Hey Jim,,, I agree with you 100%,,,,well said, good original signs, globes etc. never go down in value. I mean good stuff with great graphics not common stuff,, your right anyone want to sell their rare original stuff please contact either Jim or myself or anyone else out there that appreciates original ? The reason most of the common stuff hasn't gone up or has gone down is that since Ebay and alot of new collectors/sellers have gotton into this hobby it brings more of the common stuff out. Repro stuff has made everyone more educated in the hobby, now it's not a no brainer buying stuff you need to be smart.People have been reproducing antiques since the Mona Lisa/ Rembrandt days,,, this is nothing new ...

That hard oil can is sweet
Mike did that happen this year? We have had some wicked winds this year!!

That date on the picture is accurate. It was Oct 26. We had fearousous winds.

There is no question that this is the image used by Railroad Jones Oil Company of Winston-Salem, NC. I went back and compared it to the image on the globe that I ran in PCM several years ago. The train image is identical, although the wording of this image is different from that on the globe.

Thanks Wayne.
I emailed Scott this morning about it. Took some looking, pictured in PCM April 2008, pg 34 for anyone that sill has that issue.

I do recall seeing that picture...my dad, who collects Pure Oil items, was happy to see it! This map is from 1931.
