Sorry it's late....The months just seem to just fly by.....

Thanks Everyone!

Kinda Stoked about this one

Very clean sign

craigslist wheelhorse find need to get mower deck back on

.........

AAA Award plaque is 10x8".

I have been searching for an old pickup truck for quite sometime and I wanted one that was running and driving and not a long term restoration project. Pre-war would be nice but I was looking up to 1965 and whether it was a Chevy, Ford, International etc did not matter as long as it was the "right" truck. I looked at 2 trucks this weekend and ended up buying this 1929 Model AA. It was purchased by the gentleman I bought it from in boxes and bags painstakingly inventoried by the previous owner. The seller and his father set about restoring the truck for the last 5 years and completed about 90% of the restoration. The truck is running and driving and only needed some interior work to finish which I will complete. Incredibly it came with some original documentation and only has 11,500 original miles. It was a coal delivery truck back in the day and has stayed local all its life. The bed on the truck is a Anthony dump body but it came with its original coal bed as well.



My other finds this month:

Sweet Ford! and awesome history behind it
Here is my find for the week it came off of the same feed mill that I found the Friskies sign at sadly it will be torn down next month,
it'll be a loss to see it go, another piece of history gone I'm only hoping to save more of it before it's gone.

Picked this up tonight, very nice gloss on it.

I sure like that truck!

love that truck!!!! very cool piece of history..

Very cool Cob-Web! That'll probably be a long term keeper!

I just got these two items that both have me flabbergasted! The first is an ICC-5L jerry can from 1943 but the hand pump has me stumped. I've never seen one with a siphon pump before. Has anybody else?
Next is this neat little aluminum body with a brass arm - thing! Throttle control? Old door sign "back in XXX minutes?
If you have any guess, let me know-thanks!

Aluminum counter was used to keep track of how much bulk oil (or any other substance) had been sold from the 100 gallon tank in 5 gallon lots.

Thanks, I never would have guessed that!

You don't have any idea as to how old this gadget is or where it mounted do you?

Scott, did you see this thread?

"Anyone know what this cast dial on the inside of the door might be used for?"

Thanks Bob! Now I know where mine came from! Cool!

not really a buy of the week since I've had this for over 3 years but it just came home restored today.

Don't they call tha a pail counter Dave?
