Great stuff everyone.

My wife bought this really cool Test Driver game. It's from Chrysler and features their cars from 1957 and their famous test track.

The torture track is paper and has different textures for the different hazards.

WOW! Spring sure has sprung here in Kentucky. Look at all of the good stuff and it is only Monday. Everyone did good. Here is a shot of my stuff.

POSTING THESE BOTW'S FOR DCpate:

Doc--
 
It's DCpate again, had a decent enough week. All 5 of these beauties were found in an attic together in an old farm supply store in northern Oklahoma. I still have not cleaned them.
 
2 have cracked lenses on the one side, the other 3 are perfect. All of them display fine. It was my first time to purchase globes.
 
Who cares about the Texaco sign, right?

Somebody quick call bob drake and make sure he still breathing after seeing this globe find. Way to go DC Pate!

Scott

Thanks for the reply Scott. I got a call that every petro collector dreams about. An older gentleman that I've bought stuff from in the past discovered these globes while in the process of demolishing an old gas station/grocery store. He called me and I had them in my hands 5 hours later.

Good stuff is still out there guys. I love it...

Killer find!!!! We only dream about stuff like that... that ranks up there with find a old pump on a farm with the globe still on it and buying it. you ever want to trade some other globes for the Koolmotor let me know. You the man... bringing them in the house all mud and dirt and putting them on the carpet and taking a picture. LOL That's a collector for you.
