Anyone know what time it starts? It's just a one Dayer rt? Anyone bringing some cool items?

I talked to the organizer yesterday. Yes it is only Sunday the 19th and he said that buyers could arrive at 8:00 am. The entire conversation was very casual. He said he had about 30 calls from guys setting up to sell. I asked, and he did say that there is NOT going to be any kind of auction. Just sellers.

I to would love some kind of preview of items that may be there.

That's some good info right there....my son and I are looking forward to the show....thank you SC

Me too. I might bring a few things if someone buys them. I can't wait to go! Who else is going?

Thanks for the info.

I plan to be there, and I think "there" is here this year:
Jerry Keller 9790 memorial HWY Ottawa lake mi 49267

Cheese's place is an hour north and always a good visit with opportunities there to view/buy/trade/sell.

How big is this show as compared to Peotone??????

Since the show has changed hands and location, it is probably hard to predict how big it will be this first year. I sincerely hope that enthusiasts and vendors will attend and support the move. Buyers depend on sellers and sellers depend on buyers for a successful show. If you don't support your regional swap meet, you don't have a right to complain that all the good events are too far away.

Just go Dennis! . I will be there.

Looking forward to it and hope the vendors and buyers support the show.

See you there!

Ryan

I'll be there!! I hope there are plenty of sellers!!

We will be there for sure!

I will not be attending MIGAS this year because I can't come up with a trailer.

For anyone attending MIGAS and has a little extra time. I believe I'm around 30 miles north of where the shows going to be. I'm 7 miles west of US 23 on US12 to Saline then 2 miles out of town.

Most of you know I collected only Texaco/Havoline.

A few of the items I have left are

2 sets of 21" Tall porcelain letters spelling out TEXACO Very Nice condtion
2 sets of 21" Tall plastic letters spelling out TEXACO NOS condition, one set with cardboard sleeves. One set the letter X there's a broken piece of it, but other wise in excellent shape.
A few common globes, a few common cans, flags, marine china, 5 gallon bulk cans, measuring cans for gasoline, uniforms,hats, few glass oile bottles, several Caltex pieces etc... Too much to list here.

I don't want to step on this thread, anyone interested in learning more of what I have left, can email me at dougma@wwnet.net

Thanks Doug

Guys I'm getting a ton of emails. I'll try my best to answer them. I'm looking for people going to MIGAS. If you're not please write after the show.

One more thing, and I hope I don't offend anyone. My collection is only for sale to other collectors not pickers.

I'll be there, arriving on Saturday afternoon, bringing some pumps one is a tokheim 36b and i also have a extra set of skins and base and top to sell along with alot of other items. see you sat or sun
bob

Doug send me your phone number meybe able to drive up to see what you got, thanks

Starting sat or are you crashing out there as well?

Ill be there at 8 or so on sunday, want to get an early start. I will bring a couple things for trading and maybe selling. See you all there!!

Yep just talked to Jerry, he said 8 for a start...

See you there Ryan. We are leaving at 5:30 AM

About ready to hit the road for a MI Petro Weekend! Great deals in Ryan's booth especially when I'm booth-sitting and he's out strolling
See you there!

we enjoyed the show..nice venue will grow rapidly im sure...grabbed a couple of items. pepsi sign, national 360 and tokheim top side panels and base...all awesome deals!! My 13 year old son says it was small but had amazing stuff...will be back!!

So my first show is under my belt. I have to admit I was hoping for more but it was still a GREAT time and will definitely be back next year!! And as Canadiandiesel said, great venue!!!
Thanks very much to Jerry for hosting!!! Great peice of property and his personal collection was a joy to see!!
Got to meet and say hello to both Jim Tindera (JimT) and Noah (gassignguy). It was very nice to finally say hello face to face guys!! Look forward to next time!!
Also had some very good conversations with some guys who were not Oldgas people. I was shocked in that when I asked, they had never even heard of the site. Crazy!!
I was really hoping to run into a Sunoco sign of some kind. But maybe next time.

I did make one BIG rookie mistake. As soon as I walked in a guy had a Tokheim 39 tall add glass nozzle side side panel that I wanted. $50. I told him let me walk around I'll be back in a bit. Well you can probably guess the rest!! It was gone!!

Can't wait till my next show!! Columbus!!!

Todays Haul!
The Veedol, Sunoco bank and red capped oiler were from MiGas. Picked up the rest hitting some antique shops on the way home.

Trailer= uhaul $30 a day

Sorry sc62 I took both side panels the top and the base for the 39... It's across the border now

Gerard, Steve was looking at a Tokheim 39 tall side panel. You bought Tokheim 39 short panels.

Oh sorry Dave, no those doors go with the national 360 pump...I bought tall panels 2 sides one base and a top

It's all good Gerard. If I snooze I loose as they say I'm sure you'll put them to good use!!

I got a good haul. 4 globes, 4 ad glass, a few cans 2 signs and more! I will post pics later. It was great meeting all of you guys!!

Thanks
Noah

Hey Noah I think you were parked beside us..did you buy a Clark globe

Yup. What did you buy?

Jerry and his family did a great job, show was excellent, had a great time. hope he continues to host it. thanks again Jerry see you in Columbus
Bob McFeely

Thanks to Jerry for hosting us all. I really liked the great location and hey, it was only a little over an hour drive for me so that was great too! :)There was ample parking and it was really easy to find. I hope other vendors will make it a point to come next year as I think it has all the ingredients to be a super show in coming years.
I didn't get to meet Steve, but I did meet Noah and got a sign from him. I was wearing my big red Pegasus T-shirt, so you may have saw me walking around.
Hope to see you all there next year!
Darin

The stuff a couple columns up...,

oh, ok. Cool! Was that you and your son hauling the pump with the hand truck??

Yes that was us....tan dodge diesel truck

Yup, me and mom passed you a lot. I was the one carrying the 2 globes.

Yeah thought so...we need to get name tags for old gassers!

Good idea! That would be fun.

Does anyone have pictures from the show?

I had a good time too. I want to thank Jerry K. for saving this show. Thank goodness there was nice weather. Its even closer to me now! I like that its a fast show and on Sunday. The show was a little smaller this year, but I can see where it has the potential to grow. Nice talking to Steve C. and his wife. Steve-you should have bought that thermo! I was kinda glad when you passed. lol

Jim,
LMAO!! So I take it you are the new owner of a vintage Sunoco thermometer??
I've got this stingy attitude at the moment when it comes to spending money on some of this stuff. Losing that tin sign at $565 bucks last week (from my "hobby isn't fun sometimes" posting) kinda dented my opinion as to what these items are really worth to me. I really liked the thermometer at $100. For me at the time I just wasn't feeling it higher. Not that it isn't worth it. I mean hell, when will I see another right? Probably never.

Great to meet you and your wife also!!

Dino,
I went fully intending to take pics of everything. But once there I just got caught up in it and talking with people and never took any. Sorry. I hope someone did though.

Wish I took more pictures, here's a few though:

couple more:

That flat top American is cool. Did it sell?

Its been quite some time since I have been to Jerry's place. Looks like it has changed some!

Some nice items!

love the pump pics... thanks for putting on
