PUMPS!--PUMPS!--PUMPS!
It would have to be the 2 restoed Wayne 40's that I bought from Old Gasser "Koolmotor". He did a tremendous job on the restoration and passed them on to me at a very decent price! Gotta love that "Cities Service"!
The very best unrestored pump that I found all year, and was still in its "as found" condition, was this Tokheim 36B-JAC. Its a one owner pump that I found at the original station it was installed at! The owner and I have become great friends and thats the best part of the whole transaction! Its going thru a "Top End" restoration as we type and it will be my winters project!
PUMPS!--PUMPS!--PUMPS!

  I didn't buy a lot this year but I did buy quality this year and these two globes made that list for sure
Originals only for me. Always looking for Simpson oil, Super A, and MFA oil cans and globes.

I have found some great stuff this year as a newer collector. Here are two of my favorites: This Firestone curb sign with original base was a google search find-even though the sign is far from a 10 I like it and was greatful to find a complete one:  This Depression Era 1931 Model 45 Eco was another great find and project for me:
