GLOBE LOOKS GOOD ON THE PUMP!!!!!I`D LIVE IT THAT WAY!!!!! ALAN

These are most of my purchases from Escalon. I also purchased a Bennett 150 and a couple of other small items. Great gas bash. I'm leaving the Fry original with a red hat globe on top!

Drove to Bakersfield this morning to pick up the rest of the collection that I bought last weekend... 4 pumps, Coca Cola ice chest, an "A" frame Texaco oil can diplay rack and a plastic Havoline sign. Pumps are for sale.











Picked these up from an old lady, also today, while I was picking up an old Ford truck bed from her.



The cans, except for the Texaco Brake Fluid, are from the Escalon Gas Bash. Texaco came from the same lady as above.

It's non-petro related, but also got this small wagon for my 4 year old son at Escalon. I think that it was a store or salesman display due to its size.

I got this from ebay from a fellow oldgasser...

I drove 1300 miles with 22 hours windshield time to HURRY UP and pick these 2 porcelain 2 sided signs up!
People were calling offering them more money even though I had them paid for! Guy called from Mass offering hundreds over to kill my deal with her So I put everything on hold and drove straight there!!!!!

Plus I got a cool maprack from them...

Really nice find on the Flying A signs!

I AGREE!! VERY NICE CONDITION AND I LOVE THE MAP HOLDER!!! I`M JEALOUS...ALAN

THOSE LOOK MINTY UNUSED! GREAT FIND!

Nice find...I had the same issue with my Cadillac sign in this weeks BOTW. I had intended to go and get it this past weekend but the ownwer was getting people offering more. So, I took last tueday off and drove 9hrs to get it before the owner cut me out of the deal. Looks like those signs you got were well worth the "windshield time".

A steal from ebay with buy it now:

WOW Scott! Those look like really nice lenses! I watch Ebay pretty close but I sure as heck missed those! Nice catch!!

I was very excited to get these Platolene pump plates, these do not turn up very often. My main collection is Sinclair but since I live in Indiana I also collect hoosier items. I will be adding a Platolene pump to my collection once I fiqure out the correct pump colors.



I made another trip to Oklahoma to haul more pumps home and ended up buying all the rest of Seth's loose parts-in the plastic containers- that he had been picking from to list on ebay.

Nice Pump plates Tom very nice

Did I see this photo correct, Tom Buckles with visibles? I didn't think you liked those. I can help you get rid of some of them.

Scott, you almost lost the Frontier globe, I had hit the buy it now button and was putting in my info, and when I went to close it out, ebay said the auction had already ended. I guess you punched in your information faster than me. Glad you got it though, good catch..
