Thanks Doc for you contribution to the site, and the BOTW’s continued success 11 years running!
I will start things off with my botw for past week. I have to thank a collector who will remain nameless that has finally decided to let go of one of his Hancock pp, and gave me a shot at it. Some of my other buys came from the Kramer’s Junction show, and one from eBay. Keep them coming everyone!

It has been a great couple of weeks. I went to Maine to work on a couple of cabins my Mom has up there and to pick up some pumps. I was able to make a stop along the way and buy more pumps also had some delivered to my house from California while I was gone. I believe the add glass top is for an Erie 70 but not sure. Looking for any information I can get on it. Love the sign Dennis and hats off to Doc!!!!

As a golfer, Doc I would yell "You da Man!" Actually golfers don't do that spectators do, but it gets attention. BOTW is my favorite part of OG and you did it well. And I know Anthony will capably fill your big shoes. Now some of the stuff I purchased a few weeks earlier but never displayed it on BOTW. The Red Head Lens is cracked but few are available and it displays well regardless The Polly Can is a vinyl clad can of DBs. It is a great momento of a special man.

Here is my BOTW. I acquired the Polly can on the right first. Two days later the other one found me out of the blue. Weird how all of a sudden the Polly cans rained down on me, but i'll take them!!

Finally got this one off of a local farm, I couldn't believe how clean it was there isn't a dent anywhere on it and no serious rust only a bit on the surface, not sure what it was in it's previous life, but I had an extra Texaco globe so that will have to work for now.
