WOW... that is the only word i can think of as i am wiping the drewl from my mouth. Thanks Bill for sharing the great collection you have put together. The room looks great being you did all of that work yourself. All the original items look great together... I couldn't keep an original Husky on the floor. LOL
Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

I couldn't either! The body is original but the lens is a repro. The Maple Leaf Coop is also a repro (bought it to outside).

Bill,
That's incredible! Thanks for sharing it with us - it must have taken forever to get all of those items together.
I love the way everything is grouped.

Wes, Many hours of thought went into deciding what sign went where. I could have used a computer program like you did for your globe shelf.

a fantastic display, of great petro. items. The effort you put into the layout really sets it off. I went and looked at my collection which is handing on the garage walls in no pattern at all.I closed the door and vowed not to look at it again!LOL.Great display. Norm Huff.
