Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

Work on taxes or go to auction. 10 am. spontaneous decision, drove four hours to the auction. Prices were crazy on most items. Some deals mixed in as always. Some items I had seen before in near by antique shops. They sold higher at this auction then what was being asked in the shops.
I bought some junk pump parts and two of the pumps. The Bennett 150 for $1250, not 1500 and it had the meter, thow not shown in the pictures and a Wayne 276 needing to be put back together. Missing some parts that I have at home. Paid $250.00 I thought I did ok.
The Wayne 866 for $3900 and the Tokheim 39 tall for $2375 was insane. The rest of the pumps, what ever it's an auction.
9 pm get a hotel room and go antiquing all day Friday or go home and have the muffler replaced that fell off somewere on the four hour drive ? Got home at 1 am , trucks in the shop and I'm on a chat line. Should be doing Taxes !!! Life's Good

Mark, The base was cracked. No lower door. Some of the interior plumbing looked to be gone? Personally, I thought that at $600.00 it was high? As for the Eco.....it might have been less....but it was still overpriced as far as I could see??? Paul www.severngaspumps.com

The T8 had a crack in the base. I just wanted the light tower off it. Did not buy it.

...thanks guys - with those flaws, $600 does sound a little stout...I was worried I missed something, but it sounds like I didn't...

I couldn't stay for the auction, I gave Chris Bowers a couple bids but I didn't get any or the Bennett 76's that I wanted. I do know of one fantastic bargin at the beginning of the auction that Chris got that made my trip worthwhile just watching him get. Well I did get one bargain, a piece of pecan pie. Brady
