I have recentley acquired an old prefab. metal gas station i think from the 20s could be wrong but thats why i am heer for u guys to school me.It has 72 panes of glass well it used to have glass but that has long been broken out by some people probably some one like my self many years ago. It still had 2 porcelain signs on it that read MC DANIEL & BOND they were about 16 inches tall and about 12 feet long two piece of course. i will have to upload some pictures when i figure ou how. was just woundering if any one knew anything about these stations and how long ago they quit making them. Any info would be appreciated thanks wayne.

By the way, there's a thread on uploading images at the top of the list. If you have trouble, you can send the pictures via email to me and I'll post them. My email address is in my profile.
