I got these two Hudson's from Kansas City, Missouri to add to my Hudson collection, they aren't great just to me. The first one is aluminum. The sign is a Texaco NOS restroom sign that my brother bought when we were at the Springfield MO swap meet.

Hi Doc and all, my BOTW was a set of Young lenses, I've got the Jarvis luck now and they were broke, priority mail, package was excellent. have we figured out a cure for the Jarvis luck yet. Richard

Here is one of my buys of the week, actually bought a couple of months ago, but just got delivered from CA, its a 1931 Cadillac Coupe, we rodded one last year and somebody bought it from us(it was in several magazines: Street Rod Builder, Souther Rodder, Street Scenes, The Goodguys Magazine). Here is a picture of what it looks like now, and one of the finished one that we sold:



I also got a Skat Blast x-large blast cabinet, where I can blast my pump skins and frames in my garage, and not use the sabdblaster.

I MANAGED TO GET THESE THE DAY BEFORE THIS WEEK'S BOTW STARTED.
I USUALLY WALK AROUND AN ANTIQUE SHOW 2 OR 3 TIMES. I FOUND THESE ON MY SECOND AND LAST TRIP!
I DON'T COLLECT TRAINS, BUT COULDN'T RESIST. THEY ARE ABOUT 48 YEARS OLD BASED ON WHAT MIGHT BE DATE ON THE GULF TANKER (1956).
THE SUNOCO IS 9.5" LONG AND GULF IS 10.5" LONG AND BOTH ARE ABOUT 7 COND. AND NEED CLEANING:



LET'S SEE SOME OTHER STUFF, PEOPLE!

Doc,
Here are a couple of tokheim 39 pumps and a couple of lubsters I traded for a patient co-payment last week. Definite unexpected highlight of the week. This patient is a real nice guy and had plans of restoring these pumps to sit next to a couple of the classic cars he has restored.  We were talking about our hobbies and he mentioned that he wanted to get rid of a couple of pumps and lubsters and was going to put them in the Penny Saver. I told him I would be interested in looking, and the rest is history.  He is currently working on a 56 Chevy Truck (cool green color) and is putting power steering in it.  If anyone has 2 extra tokheim 39 short doors they want to get rid of, shoot me an email. Thanks for posting DOC.  ~Jason

Not a great BOTW but cheap. A CA. quart from Oakland CA. Ted

Doc, I bought this can and would like someone to date it for me.  It has a crimped seam if that helps.
Thanks for your help!

ROD.....THE "AMERICAN OIL CANS" BOOK DATES YOUR CAN FROM THE 60'S AND VALUES IT AT $15. HOPE THIS HELPS ~DOC

Picked up this National 365 today. I saw it across the parking lot, and with gusto told my buddy "Oh, that's a National A62, maybe an A64". Well, geeze.....they made so many. Anyway, it is a pretty clean pump under all that old paint. (My thanks to the guy who painted it over and over) It has two silver dollar size area where the porcelain chipped, but other than that, it's very clean, and has great gloss. A good deal, found behind a business that used it to fuel their company trucks. It amazes me what you can still find in down town Los Angeles. Both of the top glass' are broken, but not to worry, they repro many of them. Well, that's my BOTW. Thanks for letting me share.
