Lenny, realize this is too late for the show if you did not make it the information may be useful for next year. The main day is Friday. This is a small show and as a general rule dealers do not set up on Thurday evening. However, the best buys are early Friday morning so get there Thursday evening if possible. The auction tends to run late and there can be good buys later in the evening. There were fewer gas pumps there this year (about 15) than in years past. Believe the best deal was a National model 360 in green porcelain and with Flying A add glass. It had several chips but was offered at $350 or best offer and sold by mid-day Friday. Several dealers either did not set up on Saturday or left early so plan to do most of your buying/selling on friday. Steve
