Being my First year for collecting Petroliana and restoring pumps it's been great! I have collected quite a few items but by far my favorite item would be my Frontier/Beeline banner I got a couple of weeks ago. I finally hung it up yesterday in the Mancave above my garage. Great finds for 2012 guys and good luck on the "hunt" in 2013. Bob. The rest of the Mancave, My garage all collected and restored since March 2012 kinda got bit by the bug! but have met a bunch of great guys looking forward to 2013! 
Always looking for Frontier and Beeline items.

I had a good year due to the sale of my 56 GMC Suburban Pickup (Cameo), my Tonka collection and a bunch of truck parts so I was able to spend a lot on petro. My two best buys of the year are a Wayne 50 showcase and a Erie 53. The stuff in the showcase and the globe body on the Erie 53 are also buys this year.

There is a Twin to your Auto heater sign in an antique shop in Wadsworth Ohio. That makes it the third I've seen in 50 plus years. Very nice.
