gasmansgp Veteran Member Registered: Mon Feb 24 2003 Loc: Severn, Maryland USA	That is exactly what I meant. I should have been clearer. I bought a dozen of these at Hershey about five years ago. Gave them as gifts. Worth about $30.00 retail as a reproduction. Paul www.severngaspumps.com

Bob Richards Veteran Member Registered: Tue Feb 22 2005 Loc: Longview, WA	A few years ago, an Oldgas member self-published a SOCONY-Vacuum License Topper guide... For the life of me, I can't remembered what name he went by on the site.... If by chance you are interested in one of the guides, perhaps someone with a much better memory will help you find John... _________________________ Looking for Tide Water/ Tide Water-Associated/ Tidewater items
