Welcome to the site! One event that you might want to check out is the Portland Swap Meet this April 7-8-9, 2006 at the Expo. There are 4,200 vendor stalls, many of which have petroliana, such as gas pumps, lubers, signs, etc. http://www.portlandswapmeet.com/

Petrolania in the Pacific Rim! Glad to hear that the hobby is alive and well here in my neighbor hood - Frank, Chadhaas, DJHubba, thank you so much for the welcome. I'm interested in hearing where all you have found your pumps. Thanks for the tip of the Portland Swap Meet Chad. Looks like I won't be able to make that one, but if that Monroe meet is in May, I'm going to try for that one. I hate it when work gets in the way of the important things. Frank, I get to Seattle on occasion and may just ring you up for lunch or something if it works out. I'm obliged you brought it up. I have to see the petrolania museum in Seattle sometime. I have read about it. Nochevys, I apppreciate your offer to post pictures and I will take you up on it soon. Ed

Lunch is on me! Now I just have to get down there. Do you and Frank and other Seattle area Petro-fans ever get together at any particular meet or event? Incidentally - I have heard that moderators are akin to royalty. Others say they are a gift from the deity - all seeing and all knowing. Still, others say that - well, no need to repeat everything I hear! This is a fun group and it would be great to meet you Hubba. Ed

LOL..Ed..I am by no means royalty..LOL. I am just a simple gas geek who loves this old stuff. I dont know everything and I learn everyday from this site and other collectors. I love learning about gas and oil and the related service station items. Its a passion to some obsession to others...LOL. I wasnt trying to get a free lunch my friend..just being funny. The PNW collectors do have what we call gas geek tours..one was just last weekend..shame yo umissed it. keep watching the board or email me directly for another..they usually happen twice a year and we wont have another for some months down the road..they are always an awesome time and you get to view some outstanding private collections. Richard (gatorgaspumps) even made it from walla walla this last time..it was great to meet him and some other collectors thier first time out on the tour. This is what its all about ..collector comradery at its best.  ------------------ Hubba: GAS GEEK , OIL FREAK and humble moderator
