...hah, and I was just commenting to a friend that it looked like a good show for pumps!


Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

I'm thinking it's Looking better every year.
REALLY FEEL it would be bigger & last longer IF it were moved to COOLER Weather.

It was a good show for pumps. We brought over 30 gas pumps and sold all but 5. Only 1 was presold. Thank you to everyone who bought pumps from my Dad, Brother and myself. See you next year.

I didn't think the heat was at all bad Dick,and very,very sustainable.Nothing like the 100 degree heat index days we went through in the beginning of July.
I'm 50,grew up in Chicagoland all my life,and it was nothing different then anything else I've encountered here around the asphalt jungle.
Wear a T-shirt,shorts and a hat,and you'll be fine.
There was ample shade & water everywhere.Even the air conditioned Holiday Inn is never more then 10 steps away.
Nothing to complain about at all weather wise.

Same weather if you stay home or go to Iowa! For us on the West Coast we are use to a Drier Heat W/O High Humidity or as in the PNW High Humidity W/O the Heat.
I know about the AC inside the Hotel [HVAC Mick had the only room W/O a working AC!], but the stuff I'm interested in is Outside!

ME in SHORTS???
They'd have me arrested for Indecent Exposure & I would look like a Broiled Lobster after a half hr in sun!

Had a great time. It was tough to see all the presold items in the back of pickup trucks and trailers but I would say that overall the quality of items at this show were above any in recent memory.

Crazy that there were quite a few vendors already set up Monday PM. When I arrived on Tuesday (show starts Wednesday)I would say 60% of vendors were setup. If we keep going at this rate it will start on the weekend.

maybe that is the answer - if we move it up another couple days then we'll be back to the weekend where it makes sense for most of the dealers/collectors/AND most importantly BUYERS! Also, why would you want to have your auction on Friday when most of your online bidders and many who might make the drive are stuck at work?

Most working stiff's get paid vacations, plan ahead.
& the ones that own a business, can give up a few golf game days to attend.
Phil decided to spend his vacation in Hawaii instead of Iowa!
