They usually go quick at any show I've gone to. I was lucky this one made it through day 1 of the show without being snatched up. I made sure I was at the guys space first thing the second day and after some discussion we settled on a reasonable figure.
As a picker I'm always looking for the popular and hard to find pedal cars and will step up my offer to make sure they go home with me rather than someone else.

GEORGE, I very rarely find much outside the NY/NJ/CT area....much less Long Island. Your best bet is to search ebay for a Sager milk bottle add a city and state if you need it from there. broaden your search by leaving off city and state, save the search and check on the email option, so when something does come up, you will get an email. Hopefully, you won't have a relative trying to outbid you!

I LIKE those Metro!! This came from a retired Ford Dealer worker. All 60s,70s and the banner is from the 80s. Not very old but cool stuff all the same for a Ford nut like me.  The Autolite sign is a hard one to find out about but I think I have it pegged to 1971 when Ford had to give back autolite because there is no "Ford" after the autolite but autolite was still using the GT-40 graphic that Ford started using for Motorcraft. It is 10"X33" and painted metal. The Courier box light works great with new lightbulbs!

This month I turned 42, it's the month of the 1st anniversary of the start of Big Daddy Dave's, Man-Cave Shoppe and it's been a great to amazing month,,,so far at least. This is soooooo much fun and I keep meeting the most incredible people all while getting to be a temporary caretaker of amazing pieces of HISTORY! !HOME TONIGHT! 7-piece (with full original rear metal frame in back), porcelain, 12', !"3D"! Sign  Now time for cleaning and research to figure out what year and stuff!!! THANK YOU TO ALL THAT HAVE LENT THEIR ENCOURAGMENT AND KIND WORDS OF WISDOM OVER THE PAST YEAR! Hopefully it keeps on getting better and better as it has this entire 1st year! My truck is broke down so, once again, the Mighty Suzuki SX4 steps up to the plate! I love the looks that I get on the road,,, and don't worry, it is completly tight and does not move but hopefully I won't have to use it again for such a large sign or gas pumps or... ?

Here is my buy of the month. Never seen a sign as unique as this. Great subject matter. Blumenthal's was opened in 1926 in Greensboro, NC. This sign hung outside the front of the building. After 86 years in business the owner had to close and yes this sign hung there until it closed! Here is a photo of the sign on the store front in 2004(big long vertical sign in the left) Measures 80inx16in. A great piece of local history! Enjoy!
Always looking for Mint oil cans. Esp Aviation and Outboard Oil Cans and pumps. Looking fot Cheerwine signs!
