Did the Service Neon sign sell?

Any idea what the price tag was on the Bowser with the 66 shield globe?

Thanks,
Kurt

Thank you for posting the pictures. I like the Southwest pump.

Got home about two hours ago after an 8 hour 560 mile trip. Got several things I was after in the auction and a few I didn't plan on bidding on. Show sales were good and I picked up a few more things during the show. Nice to see old friends and fellow oldgasers again. Bill Fortune. Waiting for the next one!

Thanks for taking and posting the pictures for those of us unable to go. jack

Echoing the thanks for the pictures. I wasn't able to make it this year, either.
Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what percentage attendance was down? Given the recent drop in gas prices, I'm rather surprised.

Your welcome guys.
Jim, Lynda's cookies were definately the highlight of the show!!! She baked enough for everyone and then went person to person making sure everyone got one! She's a true sweetheart! She has done so for a couple years now! Thanks soo much Linda!!!
KFH, I will email owner and ask a price for pump for you...
Maps for memories,
The traffic was ONLY half what it usually is. Vendor turnout was down about 25%...
Definately a direct result of the wonderful economy...

Hey there everyone. Got back last night from Peotone & was zapped from fighting the darn wind the whole way. Anyway it was a good time & met some people that I have not met before & ones I already have. We went out for pizza on Saturday night & man that pizza was good. Got me a few globes & some lenses from T-way will post pic's later. Hey Kurt I have a Bowser just like that one for sale in the for sale section. Let me know if you are interested. Well like Bill said waiting for the next one

It seemed like a low turnout Sunday,but I found most everything I was looking for,while still having the time to meet with new people,so that was a nice bonus that you usually don't have time for.
I do wish I brought more money with me though..
Cookies were very good and the weather was much better then was earlier predicted for here I thought.
It was nice to talk to our host Jim P. again,and I'd like to thank Tom Buckles for his assistanace and knowledge base too.
He always comes through,or tells you who can.
Thanks Tom.
This is always a great personal show that never disappoints in my book.

Thanks for all the pictures! Hope to make it out there sometime. Can anyone tell me who had the CONOCO KEEP OUT sign? Thanks
Ric

The Conoco sign was Ron Hoyts,promoter of Iowa Gas.The neon sevice sign sold
Jim

The Gulf thermometer was mine, brought it with me to the show. It sold just as I was packing to leave. Was really nice, one of the best I have seen. Was a great show even though there were low numbers of vendors and buyers. Jim, the cookies were great as always. It was good to see alot friends. Thanks all who participated.

Another good show, foot trafic was down. I got a few small things, got a line on a globe. Bought a old pump off my brother on the way home.
Waiting on show set up;

I think if I were you Butch I'd duck.Must be you beat Ron to a sign,looks like he's got you in his sites!@#$%^^&**(
