Here are buys of the week.

Had a good week, got some stuff at the show and some from friends and family.

First picture shows a pair of Sinclair items I am very happy with. The top item in a plaque, maybe from someones retirement. It is the item shown on page 143 of the Sinclair Colectibles book. It has a wood back and the aluminum face part has a groove machined in it for the green border and the Sinclair letters are also in-letted. The bottom sign is the 12 inch one.



Also got a tin sign. Some of it will clean up, the white part to the right of the word flame by the letter E had a little elbow grease applied. A lot more is still needed



Also picked up another HC globe. I had a single lens on CAPCO, got a complete globe this time.



Got a few other items, a single Dino Power X lens to go with a single I already had and some other small stuff

Added this can from Pasadena California to my collection.

The Old Dutch pump plate was delivered to me at the show. Not the best of condition but a rare one.



Got this globe at the show. Lenses were on a repro ripple when I got them. Now there on an original.

wfot, is any1 currently repoping the ripple bodys? If not, would you sell the repo that was on it and how much?
Robert

The repo ripples are no longer made. I listed it in the For Sale section and it has been sold.

I got this sign at the Columbia, Mo swap meet. It's cardboard, but I love the graphics.



Got this HPX metal quart also. It's from JD Streett the parent company of Zephyr Gas. Love to find an HPX or Penndurol sign.

Just out of curiousity, why did they stop reproing the ripple bodies? Would seem they would still sell well.

I had heard that 50% or more of the repo ripples broke or were not the right size during the manufacturing. Hard to make, high costs equal stopped production...
