Any comments?

Great pumps everyone! Wow there are some nice ones!!

Happy birthday Loyd!!

Welcome to OldGas!

Pre-paying has crossed my mind, but I really don't want to do that. My plans are the day the book goes to the printer I will announce I am taking orders. Thanks for offering, I appreciate the trust from all of you.

Small details:

We have arranged financing, not enough, but it will get us started with the printing.
There will be no wholesaling of the book, I will be the only seller.
My goal is to have the book with me when I go to Iowa Gas.
Forgot to mention this when I posted what the book will include. It will also have an appendix, this will have details about a pump or a pump series that is too large for the picture page, a lot more info to help identify a pump.

Thanks again,

Jack

Looking for a lead on an original National A-62 with the green porcelain. Would prefer something that I can restore.

Thanks

Happy Birthday Loyd!
Ryan, hope your feet stay dry...
Nice Mural Jim...love pictures you can 'walk' into!
Les, I guess you gotta invest in a mower with a real good headlight. : D
Gary--if you use a light meter, you may find you also need less lights with the LED's to get the same luminosity as the halides (well--anyway I know it works when replacing old fluorescents). Less units = less $$$. If I remember correctly (but I'm old, so my memory fails me a lot) the halides send off some heat, so your AC bill should go down.
Darin, are you going to tease us with that without pictures?

90's with high humidity--typical Maryland summer.

Aren't you glad for that modern invention, air conditioning?

Hope the rest of your week goes ok.

Vintage Model A Firestone Tire Display

I about fell over when I discovered this piece recently in a southwestern Mi. barn. This is a Model A, Ford Tire and rim, sitting on top of a vintage Firestone display rack. I believe the rim itself dates to the 1930's. Rack has signage on front and back. The tire itself is a Firestone 4.74/5.00-19, not particularly old but the rim definitely is. I think the rack will clean up nicely with a little elbow grease. The farmer I bought this from told me that his father owned a firestone tire outlet and he used this display in his store.
Interesting piece of Firestone advertising.

Shipping: This item is avail. to pick up at my Hillsdale Mi. location, "or" upon request, I would be willing to take to the UPS in Coldwater Mi. for them to package & ship for you. You would have to make your own arrangements at UPS before I deliver. Message with any questions or comments.

$350.00

Here is a quick snap. I can post pics of individual ones if that makes a difference. condition on a few is rough but others is definitely fair.

Still Looking for Wayne 100B RH Door

Krause declined printing the book. Said with all the book stores that are closing they didn't think the book would sell that well. I don't expect the book to sell as well as the first two did, but since I am putting up all the money I will be making more per book, and it will probably all come out the same.

Jack, I STILL want a printed copy and if possible , signed by you . Just let me know where to send a Money order .

Hello members of OldGas,

I am a student graphic designer at Colorado State University with a love and appreciation for antiques. I have been making waterslide decals for antique fans and bicycles for a while now, and am now taking orders for petoliana-related decals. All I need is a nice, straightforward picture of the design in question along with the exact measurements to vector the artwork, and then the design is laser printed on high quality decal paper. My prices are competitive, and are based on demand, complexity, and size. Below is an example of a fan badge decal I have done in the past. For an example of price, that decal measures 1-5/8" in diameter and costs $10.00 + Shipping.


For questions and comments, please message me here, or send an email to graphicrevivals@gmail.com

Thank you for your interest.

Hopefully I can get upgraded so I can market in the BST section.
