Don't get excited yet but I thought I would share what Iowa gas looks like before the vendors and buyers show up.  Some of the vendors are rolling in, check out this pump!   Nobody really sets up on tuesday, but they do bring in their items for the room to room stuff  To me this is the best spot in iowa, Hemibird, texaspelican and I set up under these trees. Stop by if you can.  This is where most the vendors show up. It looks huge when its empty. Till tomorrow...

Scott,
Thanks so much for posting pictures. I know from having done it that it takes a lot of time to post. Everyone that can't be there really appreciates it. I was planning on coming this year but I landed some big accounts and have to take care of business first! Pat.
P.S., got your email, guess I'll have to hang onto the Vickers 1/2 gallon can till next year,huh? LOL!

Yeah, thank you so much for posting the pictures. We would love to be there! Actually seriously considered hauling a$$ after our closing today and driving there. Then decided with buying a house and a car that going to IG would probably not be the smartest thing we ever did! Haha. Anyway, have a great time! :-)

1:45 west coast time, Friday. Just got home from Iowa and had a WONDERFUL time. Many more vedors then Columbus. Most sellers told me they were haveing good, not great, sales and were happy. Lot's of signs, not anything super rare, MANY globes and MANY pumps. If you are a globe or pump collector this is the place. Weather was HOTTTTTT and very humid. When the cloud cover goes away it's nasty. I love this show and will be making reservations for next year as soon as they come out the first of the year. Wonderful place to meet so many great people. We all seem to know each other by our Old Gas or ebay names.
Anyway thanks to the promoters, GREAT show

Special thanks to the promotors and everyone who helped put on the Iowa Gas Show. Powerlube...you did a great job on posting pictures and keeping us informed on a daily basis. I plan on attending next years show for the first time. I am looking forward to meeting all of the Oldgas members that I haven't met before. Thanks for the tips of the show. I'll try to remember that next year ($$$) Let's see how many first timers we get for next years show. Iowa Gas is definately the premier gas and oil show in the country. Special thanks again. Larry

Sorry to hear about your loss.
It looks and sounds like it was a good show, thanks for the pictures. I couldn't make it this year but I did get to drool on the porcelain my brother picked up.

Only 750 miles each way for me but it felt like 2500 with two sick babies and no sleep for three days. Still wouldn't trade having my family along for anything. ------------------ Chuck  Signs Wanted: Sunset, Clipper, Habor, Indian, Powerlube, Beacon, Sinclar Aircraft

My first time to IG but it won't be my last. Brought a couple of buddies with me and we all had a great time, 10 hours and 600 miles each way. Met quite a few oldgasers but not all, we'll get them next year.

Thanks for both replys-the reason i ask,at least 25 years ago i bought an aviation sign like the one pictured.The three piece sign was mounted on a piece of redwood and was in a Shell station in N.Ca.I paid $50.00 for it,A well known collector from the Chicago area that i been dealing with wanted to see a photo of it.I sent the photo and told him it was not for sale.A short time later a check arrived from him for $1000.00.It became for sale at that moment!I have often wondered what became of it.Could this be the same one? i have never seen another.
