Roy bought both from Jeff, before Jeff's auction.

Loyd, that was funny!

Not a bad idea considering the 5-digit-number!

Yes Henrik been moving mom, and what to do with the horse still in question to nice to junk but he can't make the trip. Don't have the bottom someone put him on pole with base I done some work on it years ago and put him in prymer and he has sat under carport ever since. She seen it on dump down in the country down in a deep hollow,and made me go get it. If he just had wings.
They say holler there and potatoes are taters.

Thanks Lastgas for correcting me. That was one of the first gas and oil auctions I had went to. My cousin was the grocery store manager in Delavan (since retired) and his first time to one of those auctions. He'll never be the same. I've tried to get him to go to the auction at Peotone but haven't talked him into it yet. Mitch

That attitude is exactly what's wrong with this hobby. Don't want to work to acquire the real deal? No problem, just make a fake one!

Heres a Picture of my Grandson on the one Roy Reed still has about 4 years ago, Great piece in person...Frank

Do not wish to steal this thread, but you need to LIGHTEN UP a bit. NO NEED to get worked up about the joke.

I know of couple VETERAN members here & I visit them often to see all their ORIGINAL (9-cond) stuff. I do NOT need to acquire any of those high-SSS stuff.

Enough said!

And the winner for the most over-the-top reaction to a joke goes to ....

It's nothing to joke about. All the fake ***** being promoted on this site is one of the reasons many veteran collectors no longer participate on here.

I have fueled another fire twice in one week. To Serialist, Jim ,and Moderators I am sorry. Wasn't my intention. I come here to learn from the veterans and new comers a like. I can do that with typing finger silent unless I have something meaninfull to add related to topic.
Something I need to pratice for sure . Again Serialist I'm sorry and hope we can steer back to your orginal posted question.

Thank you FRANK for sharing the picture. I hope it is still in Roy's collection. This way, I do not have to drive too far to see the beauty!

Great picture Frank.
Loyd, reading differing opinions can be a good thing.

The picture above looks like it's in a lot less condition than the one in the auction in this link.
If anybody subsribes to this service it would be interesting to see what it went for.
I'm assuming that the one in Frank's pic is Roy Reed's that went for $20k.

Very well said Bob

FYI- I tried calling "Serialist" on the phone number listed under profile and talked to someone who doesn't collect petroliana, and was really surprised to hear from me. With that said...something smells fishy around here. The post was started by them and not sure where the photo came from ???
