Time for a few more pictures and a story. My brother and I were at Iowa Gas one year and a guy stops by the spot to talk. He was saying he had an old tanker truck body with a couple of signs still on it. He tried to describe them and it sounded interesting. He said he would bring them by next year for us to look at. Ok, sounds good. Thought we would never see that guy again. Next year I was not able to go to the show but my brother went and set up in the same spot as he always does. The same guy did come back and had the two round signs pictures below plus he gave us the pictures of the signs out in the wild. The marksman did a number on the sign on the right, cut it's value big time but it is still a great sign. Dad ended up with the pair and had the bullet holes repaired by the VanKannel boys.




After the repair;


Dad was happy with the job the brothers did. I think it is his only restored sign. There is another version of this sign also with a small white "tag" looking thing on it as well as I think a 16 inch version.
