Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Non-Petro Discussions Non-petro Discussion and Showcase NON-PETRO BOTM: JULY 2012!

THANKS!

picked up this 39 LaSalle grill and a very early trunk

...a couple of things I've picked up recently, but hadn't posted:

...26 x 40"...TEN colors, silk screened on heavy cardboard...textbook poster layout - designed so that your eye follows the poster from the large yellow brand name, down through the product, along the pipe and back to the sales message...I put it in a metal frame...no easel on the back...anyone seen anything like this?



...'The Monarch', made by the Municipal Street Sign Company, Brooklyn, NY - the large, heavy iron & porcelain street sign from the corner of Congress & Bull (let the jokes begin), in Savannah, GA, where the former Hotel Savannah (now the Manger Building) stands...

I bought this Kool-Aire soda dispenser yesterday at a garage sale. I know it's missing the glass tank and stand, but I love the graphic in the front.

Killer Street sign!!!!!

Yes it is..

Here's a few things I've bought over the last week and a couple days:
Original (NOT REPO!) Owensboro Ebbert Hickman Wagon sign (too bad the original owner paited the frame everytime they painted the bed it was hanging over!!!)

Lacker Neon Marque Clock

1980's CASE IH "Merger Era" Clock


Love the Granger Tobacco Poster!!!

Brandon Ferguson

Brandon, that's a killer neon clock.

I loooooooove neon clocks!

Nice clock there for sure!

its even the right color..

And doc, your weekly banner on the first post is doing a number on my eyes. With these new glasses I got it looks 3D!!!

That is one in the same, isn't it?...

DITTO!

Picked up a used JD 316. Only has 600 hours on it. Came with a new battery, oil change and filter, spark plugs and a wax job. Also has a new hydraulic filter for it if I can figure out where it goes. Does anyone have a snow plow for one of these?

Another thumbs up for the street sign!
I'm a Cub Cadet guy and that IH clock is sweet.

I have skied and raced my mountain bike at Mt. Snow Vermont for many years and found this sign at a barn sale hanging in a horse stall and made an offer.

Well the '09 Ram needed an oil change . . . and it rolled over 100K on the 2nd - so I went in and traded it for a new '12 Crew Cab Ram.



And yes, it's got a HEMI. LOL

Later . . .

Jim

My 04 ram only has 64k but I can't resist the new looks of the ram. I think I'll end up getting one sooner or later.....

Good looking Truck Jim!!!!

That's a nice one Charles! I like it!

I agree 100%………Did they use that as a door push?

junkyard find

NOS Keen Cutter Tools sign.

I bought a westinghouse junior cooler today in perfect condition

Picked up a few stools today.

Got this minty dr pepper sign this week. You hardly ever see this one.

Great sign!

.

Wall clock that was put into a Deco looking homemade frame. Found in old clothing shop.

Picked these up. Don't really see to many of these Hires signs, the onesI see are usually the blue ones.

Both signs are embossed and the Canada Dry is dated 47.

Not really sure why I bought this then drove 2 hours to pick it up. Cheap price I guess..

got this very heavy 10ft light pole , got it as payment for plumbing repair, house built in 1890 but not sure the age of the pole

Nice stuff. I like the light pole

buddy dropped off a old street light pole this morning,front one in pic. got 1 other from him quite awhile back he wanted to keep this one but his other half did not like it up,so makes #4 all are the same just gotta get them up now.



another junkyard find last week



top for it with a neat sign inside

Got this 1906 koken chair by trade , have a few straps on it because it has some lose screws.and another great clock, looks good for 1928-1931 the only year these were made

Nice clock

I just received this nice 7up bottles carrier

thanks I like your coke box I see in the background

thanks actually it's a westinghouse junior I got two weeks ago in Brussels

Here is my latest nice non-petro buy. I like Coca-Cola items but only collect nicer quality older items, pre-1960 mostly. I do not want one of those crazy collections of all the new stuff that takes up the whole house and will never be worth anything! I found this 1951 clock in a local antique mall. The tag said 1980's Coke clock, lol! It was good for me the dealer didn't know it was an older item as it was only $65. I thought it was a good deal on a nice old clock.
Darin

Thats a good deal on the clock. Its in good shape! The silver one is a bit harder to find than the brown one.

Good deal for you , silver is hard to find

Thanks guys, I thought the price was missing a digit when I pulled it off the wall!
Darin

here is my non petro, did some research and gridley ice cream it was a milwaukee based company ,which i think started in or around 1906. dont know the exact age of this neon but i would guess 50s. has a nice art deco look. i put a new back glass on it and a new transformer and it lit up like a christmas tree.

Nice neon Tim. I don't know much about neon signs, but if I saw that in a shop I would guess it was from the very early 1940's or before with that deco font and design. Black, red, and chrome was a standard 1930's color combination.
Darin

yes i wanted to say it was earlier than 50s , but i just dont know exactly. amazing the neon and the front glass survived all these years.and just the back glass was broke, but still there.
