This neon sign was put in storage in the 1960's when the raised viaduct was built in Vancouver. The owner had planned on using the sign again. All original neon tubes and transformer...it's been in a time capsule for the past 55 years.

Bought this trailer full of car parts. Store was sold in the 1960's and surplus parts were stored away in his basement. In the 80's they were moved into this trailer. Mostly 1940's to 50's parts. Few early 20-30's radiators, steering columns and engines. I'm to busy right now to dig through will leave it closed for a few more years.

a Peotone purchase... i bought this porcelain embossed sign that originally hung in Wrigley Field in Chicago, until it was removed during a renovation in the 1960s.

I am not a Cub fan, quite the opposite actually. But I am a huge Chicago Bears fan, and they also played in Wrigley Field until 1970. So I bought this knowing its a piece of Bears history that would go good with other memorabilia.

Great looking sign Dave. I contacted the seller but he was asking too much. I understand the price was more reasonable after a short time and change of owners.

This is an oiler for a steam engine, it injects oil into the steam line. Your missing some tubing.
