At times I share some of the original photos and copies of photos I have purchased, because I believe we all like a "look into the past". Here is a scan of my latest purchase, I hope all enjoy and all have a Merry Christmas!  Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Once you get them sorted, I for one would love to see some of the images. Especially that 1909 Harley.

Bob,
I'll try soon to get a copy and post it. I also found in the bunch, two photo's of Lincoln Beachey and Barney Olfield. First one, Lincoln is setting on has Wright Brothers plane and the other one is Barney and Lincoln in a crowd of 100,000 people next to plane and Indy car. Lincoln was the first dare devil Pilot. Barney drove at Indy in the teens. Cool stuff!

Which brands would you like Doc? Tydol, Texaco or Shell? (those are the brands I can make out, or at least it looks to me that the globes are Shell clamshells in front of Sander's store)
db with that nice big monitor, can you make out what is on the globes at the Texaco station and Sander's store?

Bob that's a great photo. I zoomed in quite a bit and there are 4 different stations it appears, 2 on the left side, on behind the other and 2 on the right. I can't make out the globe branding but I count 15 globes in total. The Texaco sign is a nice old Gasoline and motor oils Texaco but the globe in front doesn't make sense. It almost looks like an Esso in script style but the longer you look and the harder you look it gets "buggy" on the eyes. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry, all my extra Tydol items are going to feed a goat I heard about in Tennessee. (since they eat most everything) If I remember correctly it was found at the bottom of a hole.  As you can see, he has been really hungry. LOL
