Bummer, I know the feeling I'm always on call myself so you never know when the calls coming in. My wife had the camera so I did not get any photos but I was there at 7:00 am and people were buying, alot of signs were going out the door, prices were negotiable and wallets were opening up. I was looking for Richfield and found nothing, there was an Atlantic sign but the guy ahead of me snatched it up for a hundred. Mostly signs and literature, mostly smalls, no pumps, some air meters, put it on your calender for next year!

I understand DOC not being able to post his pictures yet, but am curious why there's only one short report about this show. Was it a total "flop"? Or just that no Oldgas members were able to attend? I've been a member here for 8 years and can't recall any show that got this little after-the-fact reporting.
We all love to see pictures, and if not, then at least some verbal reports about how the show went. Hope this lack of information doesn't mean that vendor and buyer turnouts were poor. Hope maybe it's a "perfect storm" where those who attended just haven't had time to satisfy all us junkies who couldn't attend. Just wondering.........

It only takes a couple minutes to put your pics onto your computer and only 3 more min. to post them. Just pics of the show is all that is asked.

SURE, WHEN I FIGURE OUT A WAY TO ADJUST AND CORRECT 30+ PICTURES IN JUST A "COUPLE MINUTES", I WILL GET THEM DONE. UNTIL THEN, ADD ABOUT 58 MINUTES FOR ME TO DO THE JOB AND THEN ADD ANOTHER 30 MINUTES FOR ME TO HOST THE PICTURES AND WRITE THE THREAD. OH, AND ADD ANOTHER 5 MINUTES FOR ME ADDING MY SIGNATURE TO EACH PICTURE.

I set up a table and was happy with the gate. New faces came through. Sold a few items, passed out flyers for my show, made a trade, picked up stuff like a pile of early maps, a CT highway sign, unique cast iron rest room signs, a car club placque, oil cans, old photos, postcards, and other smalls. Good to see people and chat. Its been said here before but bears repeating- support your local shows !
Looking for photos, etc from 60s era Shell-A-Rama gas station and Pal's Diner, Rt. 17 Mahwah, NJ
& US or state highway signs, shields, route markers
