I saw the Rickenbacker sign on Friday. It was a smaller version than the one sold a while back by Dan Matthews. I think the price on it was $900 or maybe $950? It had the condition issues as seen in the picture and it looked like a lot of touch up. Still a very cool sign.

Yah great job on the pics John!!! I feel like I just went to the show again!!
I guess early bird got the worm! That yellow globe frame wasn't there when I went by this booth. I believe this was Scott B's set up.

For those of us who could not attend, those pictures are quite an inspiration! Thank you all for sharing the experience.

Does anyone recall who had the White Rose sign and/or their contact info?

John thanks for taking the time and energy to post pictures. Great job. On a side note to Oldgassers- If you haven't attended the show, you really should do whatever it takes to make it and attend either Thursday evening or Friday -or both- I always learn something,see some great pieces I never knew existed and/or meet some new people who share our hobby. It always a good time and makes for an enjoyable get away and good memories. Not to mention adding some good stuff to the collection. Also there were many more people set up in their rooms that John didn't get a chance to photo. Plus there are pieces for every range of collectors to be had.

This is a great show and it's about to get better. Andy who is a memeber of this site bought cto and will be taking over next year. I'm sure there will be some changes but I'm also sure it will be better. Andy is a great guy and I hope we all can support him in this new adventure.


Originals only for me. Always looking for Simpson oil, Super A, and MFA oil cans and globes.

Well , I finally have some time to post some pictures of the show. The pictures already posted have covered the show very well but it is always good to see from many eyes. There were many rooms that I did not get a chance to get into. It is hard to set up and shop but I did get out some.

In 60wayne's 7th photo, what kind of pump is this? I'm not a pump guy but boy is that attractive! I would guess milk glass sides on the top. I could imagine what it would look like restored, although it looks nice as is. It reminds me of a Tok 36 but is different at the same time.

A couple of comments on the show. This is my 4 CTO and I can honestly say it was one of the smoothest of all. I just want to reiterate how great it is that ANDY has taken the show over. He is a great guy and very knowledgeable about our hobby and all facets that are related. This can only continue to improve our CTO experience. One area that needs to be focused on is bringing a top notch Auction to the show. In my opinion the last couple have been a little less then desirable. Other then that make plans to attend one of the best shows out there. See you on the Road.

This was my first show and it was overwhelming. I have never seen so much of the stuff I love in one spot. The rrom to room thing was a lot of fun as well. I can't believe the prices though....this is a rich mans sport.

Darin!!! That pump is an American 550. Anyone know if it sold or who owned it? Looked like someone was two wheeling it away! Thanks, John.

I've known Rory for a long time and all I can say is that he is a gentleman and gives his all to present a quality auction. Your comments about the auction are miss placed because it is very obvious you know nothing about what you are saying! He is given what he is given and has to deal with it. As for comments about the old and gone away Dan Mathews auctions he had to deal with the same situation, " the stuff comes in at the last minute". If you didn't like the auction, HEY you freaking do it. Nuff said!

Here's the long and short of it. No one is questioning Rory's integrity. I agree the auction was very poor. Maxgas has a right to his opinion and I totally agree. Hasn't been good since Dan Matthews left. If you can't get good consignments, don't bother. Morphy's is a good example. The fact is shows have been going down hill for a long time. Too expensive - hotels, gas, taking time off from work, etc. After 30-50 years of everybody collecting this stuff, anything good is in somebody's house. The only way you're going to get it is if they die and it goes to auction or you go to their home and buy it directly from them. Either way, you're going to pay big time. It's not like it used to be 25 years ago where you hit the flea markets and got good stuff reasonable. You don't even find anything on eBay anymore that's any good. CTO show has not been well run for a long time. Stopped going 6 years ago. Wasn't worth the investment. Stopped going to Iowa Gas 15 years ago. Wasn't worth the $800 investment. I went to these shows to fill the shelves. Granted, I'm 80% cans, so I'm somewhat limited. It's got to be worth my while. It's nice to talk to the people, but not the primary reason I went.

My intent is not to take anything away from this great thread, I only want to support Rory and what he is trying to do. And again, Nuff said.

Yeah, good for you. As for old and gone away Dan Matthews auctions, he didn't go away. He moved up.

...agreed - I've been to at least eight CTO's, and this auction had the fewest offerings of any...the auctioneer has an entire year to get enough quality pieces for a choice venue as this...if he/she cannot supply enough items, maybe they're spread too thin...

...there was one guy in the room-to-room - I swear, it looked like he had squeezed more in his hotel room, than was in that auction - and it was good stuff, too...


Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

I let out an audible noise when I looked in there. Tried to post a pic but sometimes posting a pic in a forum is like trying to launch the space shuttle....

After seeing all the comments, I have to ask . You see all the great pictures of some really nice advertising, thanks who post these. The big question becomes we see two major shows, where does all this great items go to be sold the rest of year. I agree nothing becomes available on eBay any more and going to shops you just shake your head and drive away. Knowing a lot of money is invested where are the sellers, selling their items. You may see an item on the pictures but you have know idea how to contact anyone or what the price may be, what is the big secret. Dealers should have a big poster of how to contact them.

dealers use other shows & swap meets, dealers have websites, dealers have individual customers, dealers use craigslist, dealers use facebook (a lot).

Ways of buying from vendors:
- Go to the show(s)
- Shop on OldGas
- Shop on Facebook
- Save dealer websites to favorites

If you are at a show and you take the time to talk and meet people, you can find out where the stuff comes from where it is going etc. All it takes is a little effort to have all questions answered.
I go to every show, auction, flea market, yard sale, Internet , homes etc. , that I can. I also talk way too much ! I find it is easy to find things, the hard part is to afford things. There are always bargains to be found if you put out the effort.

I've been going to Columbus for 20+ years. 1100 miles, one way. I have always done real good, buying and selling. I sell quality items, and buy quality items. Hard to steal stuff at a swap meet. You have to pay the price, or go home empty. No use crying about high prices, and the way shows are run. Just make the best of it and life goes on. It's a rich mans hobby, if you want to buy items that cost 20k to 150k. Buy what you can afford, and buy high grade. 20 years from now you'll be playing with the big boys! Or, at least you'll have a nice collection. There's a old saying "If You Don't Have A Horse In The Race, don't bitch About How The Race Is run".
