I had a good year adding to my collection. I was able to go to the Columbia show, Peatone in the spring, Columbus and Iowa. I also bought from friends and family plus ebay. Most of my items were shown before in the BOTW over the past year but here they are again.

First up is a sign I got off ebay the week of the spring Peatone show. I have seen a matching Sinclair fertalizer sign also.



Next is a shot of my first pump and glass bodied globe. I got this the week of Iowa.



My second pump, a 36B



A collection of signs from Iowa



And last is a sign I just got. It is old, I am guessing from the teens or 20's, and it is made out of stone. I saw wood, porcelain, tin, cardboard and plastic signs before but this is the first stone one I got. It is broke along the bottom. Dad had the neighbor make a wood frame for it to hold it in place. I will post some pictures of the finished sign and a picture of a building that used to have signs like this along the top of it later on

A few more of my favorites. Red Hat that I sold and regret doing it.






A re-paint on the pump above.

A lot of effort went into get the globe made for the above pump. Getting it restored was the easy part!

A pair of rare gallons

The whole shelf is new for 2006. It will be hard to top it for 2007 but I WILL try!!!
