Maybe this has been done before in this forum, but I would like to see what gas collectors consider their favorite items. If everything but one or two things had to be sold what would you want to keep? It doesn't have to be the most valuable but maybe it has a great story. Here's mine--a chevrolet bowtie neon

It was hard for me to pick out just one thing, so I narrowed it down to pairs of globes and signs. (I didn't see globes in the list but they are among my favorite things.) The Gulf Marine White was my greatest globe find so far (about 8 months ago), but the Marathon I think is my favorite globe/design. When I first started collecting old gas I got the globe books and looked through every page. When I saw this one I said to myself I was going to own that globe one day. I was finally able to secure one after several years from Scott Benjamin. In the line of signs, both of these are well above average in condition, but the working Red Crown thermometer is special to me as it was the first "real" sign I had found when I started collecting old gas items, and it's been in my area since it was new. It was handed down in a local family for a couple generations then sold to me. I will never sell it. Have a good one, Darin

Thirty years with this company. Because of that I can do and buy anything that I want in my retirement. That being the case it has to be my favorite. Mitch
