This building held quite a few suprises and hidden treasures that no one knew were there! Beautiful 6 footer stored in the steel storage building. table full of pump plates in the steel storage building. I wonder how many more there are? More pump plates and a rare dealer plate in the same building. Box full of NOS plastic stars found under a bench!

It was a complete, untouched case of Skychief lenses for glass bodies. It was hidden behind some boxes on a lower shelf and when Tom reached down and pulled this box out, we were all speechless! What a treasure! Complete case of NOS Skychief lenses! Everything Cities Service Specializing in old Gas Pumps kwfrith@gondtc.com Cell#-701-739-6133

It wouldn't hold everything we wanted to put into it, but we worked pretty late into the night, trying to get it as full as we could! John is a certified forklift operator and got the job of loading the dumpster with the junk pumps and parts that came from the gutting! Junk pumps that we lined up outside for John to haul to the recycle dumpster! The dumpster wouldn't hold everything but Tom was determined to get as much as he could on it!
