I'm running an Ad on Craigslist to sell my Coke machine and got a call today from a guy wanting to know if I wanted to buy another one. He said that a friend of his recently lost her husband and is selling his collection of stuff. I asked what else she was selling. He said a bunch of stuff and some gas items. I headed out to look. When I got there he said that they had (4) globes they wanted to sell. He said that two were older ripple body reproductions and he had a 15" reproduction High Hat globe and a Red Hat globe on plastic bodies. Turns out that both were on metal bodies and were painted. Both had matching red lighted bases. Here's some pics of the ripple bodies.

Any idea on value?

Thanks
Mac

Here's the pics of the other two globes.

As I was looking around I spotted this Seeburg Wall o Matic machine. Not sure if it works or not, but was neat so I had to buy it.

As I was headed out the door I spotted this original old, and extremely heavy, payphone she had mounted on her wall. I asked if it worked. She said yes, try it out. I picked it up and it had a dial tone and worked great.

THIS WAS FOUND IN THE BASEMENT OF A BUILDING BEING REMODELED

Just picked this up in a May Minnesota snow storm on Friday. From the closed Chevrolet dealership in Calumet, Minnesota.

Very nice OK sign there. That is on sign that I really regret selling. I should of kept mine!!!!!!

I got these a week apart and forgot to take pictures before putting them on a pump.

WHAT IS THE ACTUAL SIZE?

Nice Seeburg Wallbox. you need a stepper unit on the back of the correct jukebox. a mechanism inside it works when wired to the stepper and jukebox. It's a mechanical remote-each letter and number combo makes a mech turn inside and send electro pulses to the stepper that many times to select your song.

Awesome payphone. Nothing like a nice original, so many of these are either banged up or went through homeowner modifications to make them more modern.
