Great looking buys everyone! Bob- looks like you went on a buying spree!
Scott- I love those atlantic signs I think I will look to buy some just like them to go with my white flash sign
Russ- Great Buys! WOW, you find some great stuff
Ron- No hard feelings but if I knew of an auction with some great signs you would be the last guy on my list to tell. You pay more then I do and no 'deals' would be had that day :-)

a few globes

a hard day for the cheese

nice harp picked it up for 75.00

These are a couple of signs bought a month or so ago, but the new (top quality) cans, transformers, wiring and neon were just finished a week ago.






36" in diameter....









The auction was advertised in Antique Week - the one week I didn't read it the same day it arrived - took it with me to the Columbus show, but never made time to study it. Won't happen again for a while.

I want to thank Scott Shipers for the Tagolene oil can and Arron Hop for the Universal oil can. Bob Drake pointed me to the Handy Sandy tube. It has some cool pictures on it.


I want to Thank Bill Fortunes brother for the Skelly globe. I went up to this show with a few hundered dollars and came home very happy. Being laid off is slowing me down a little. LOL Sorry i couldn't remember Bill's brothers name.

Firestone Plug cabinet has backlighted glass in center that shows through die cut shape of spark plug.

Auto Bulb cabinet

Found some good auto paint stuff the last couple weeks.
This BPS wall card rack holds my Best Paint Sold auto paint brochure real nice.
The Devoe chart sign mentions both autos and carriages.

Picked up these cans too.
The Beckwith Chandler can matches a clock I have that is one of my favorites.
The Devoe Carriage paint can goes with that chart sign in the above post.
The Western can is from Western Auto.

I was very happy to add these two globes to my collection at the Columbus show. Here they are.


I have always wanted a TEXACO FILLING STATION sign. I planned to buy the one in the Columbus auction, but it sold for $4840.00. I got this one for a lot less outside at the show.

Check out this FREEDOM Oil Company Miners Wax Can. The miners would put the wax on their wick and light it for light in the mines.


This Penzoil bank was given away by Aetna Oil Company.


It looks like everyone had a good week. Let's see some more.

I am posting this for Greg and Tod Brown. This Vacuum oil cabinet is in great condition. All of the shelves are there and the top. Nice and streight. They bought it at the Columbus show.

This is a can that Robert Liter bought at the famous auction that no-one knew about. Look closely at the can. It is from Hamilton Ohio and they are advertising that they have 8 free air stations. It is a cool can.

Nice stuff guys.
