No - not real. Made with a decal on a steel blank.
Created using my artwork - without permission.

I sure there was a heated argument! Anything rare or new finds show up at the show?

Like most shows and swap meets, you might say the trading, selling etc. starts as soon as the first truck or trailer hits the site. Iowa, Peotone, Iola, etc.
No different in Michigan. We arrived Friday morning about 11:00 am. Late for us. We are normally there on Thursday. Six pumps, five signs, a full set of oil bottles and a bunch of small stuff were gone in an hour and a half. We were about empty. We bought some things and they went into the truck for the ride home. Not for sale.
So if you only went to the fairgrounds on Saturday, you missed a lot. So I would highly recommend that anyone that can, attend the pre-show BBQ and auction. If nothing else it is one heck of a party!
If anyone was disappointed in the turn out of vendors I understand all shows are slightly down. There was more than enough for any one person to buy. I know three people who will not be showing at Iowa this year. I don't care I'm going to Iowa anyway. We have always done well at both shows each year and I look forward to seeing old friends.
See you in Iowa!

Thanks in advance...Kevin The high end banana boxes were Walt's. Drawing a blank on the last name but someone can help me. The repop globes in banana boxes were Larry Robertson's I believe.
