I have traveled all over this country for this business that I'm in, but have never been to Iowa Gas. I think this will be the year. I will not be vending, only buying. What I would like to do is to purchase 20-25 "gutted" Wayne, Martin Schwartz Model 80's. I prefer ad glass top, low top, short cylops, high curb cyclops pumps. Script top units do not get me excited and I only do those as a last resort. All pumps need to be complete and in good overall condition. I will pre purchase or buy at the show, whichever works best for all concerned. I will be in town on Tuesday, July,29th and plan on leaving on the 30th if loaded? Paying cash and am quite serious about this request. Paul www.severngaspumps.com cell 410-245-3210 shop 410-969-2899

Last year show was Over on Tuesday!

LOL--Not quite DB. I got there at noon on Tuesday and was shocked at the number of vendors already set up! But Tuesday and Wednesday were just fine!

OK, Wednesday Evening.

Hey some of us younger collectors (LOL) did pretty good finding a few things on Thursday! I do agree that most the pumps are bought up right away though!

On DBs advice I didn't even book a room. Just show up Tuesday at 0400 done by 200 pm-go home! LOL IG in a day and no sweat.

Fred, ya Gotta stay till 11pm for Room to Room [especially Maurice's room].

thats what I plan on doing... except maybe waiting till wednesday

Dick, Very interesting. Having spoken to a few vendors who do IG, I was thinking I'd be early? I can show up on Sunday if need be? Paul

Guys, I've committed to three in the past two days. I'm still looking for more. Get them out and send me pictures. I am serious about this. Thanks, Paul www.severngaspumps.com

Now have five and planning on more. How about dusting them off and sending me a picture or two? Thanks, Paul www.severngaspumps.com

Still at five. That's a long ways from twenty-five. Need more please. Paul www.severngaspumps.com

There is one on ebay now at $495.00 that I think is close to you.
Was wrong, it was 650.00 OBO

Craig, I did see that one but it is in the wrong direction, LOL! Even though Vermont looks close, on the map, it is a good distance up the coast. Two days up/back plus fuel/tolls and a room. I got an answer from him, on price, and he says he is pretty firm? Decided too pricey??? I really appreciate the information, as it always helps having extra eyes scope out the stuff.

Everything looks close over there.

Currently at seven. Surely there are more out there that need to a ride East? Paul www.severngaspumps.com

Paul since you are on a M&S 80 run I just wanted to let you know that I just posted two doors and one side panel for sale in the For Sale section under a listing panels and doors Iowa Gas only.

See you at Iowa,
Rob

Rob, I'll have a look. Thanks, Paul www.severngaspumps.com

...Paul, someone posted on Facebook they were going to Iowa, and had three M&S 80's pictured in the stuff they were bringing...I posted your website and suggested they contact you...

Mark, The guy called last night. We made the deal and they are coming to the show. Thank you for your help. It is greatly appreciated. Paul www.severngaspumps.com

...no problem - glad it worked out!

I'm in Ohio heading home. About 7 hours out. Wound up with 16 MS 80's all in nice condition. Met some good guys to deal with. Maybe again next year? Paul www.severngaspumps.com
