Funny how things work out, but several years ago at Fred's Santa Rosa meet, I saw a great original West Coast Branded Harbor lubester. Well of course I was too late, it had already been sold. I believe that Mike Mikelson had bought it. Sometime later, I was over at Dennis Leith's house, and saw the same lubester in his collection, I don't remember how he came to own it, but I certainly hadn't forgotten it. A year or so ago, I noticed a post on oldgas, where Dennis was selling off a few items, and low and behold, the Harbor lubester was being offered for sale. Obviously I bought it, had a buddy bring it to oregon, where it sat in the corner of my office, until recently, when good fortune struck again. On a whim, I answered another post on oldgas, where Kim (Minute Man) was looking for a trade. He wanted some quality globes, and was willing to trade his Erie 50 pump. I offered to be a middle man, exchanging cash for anyone that might not want the pump, but had globes. It did work out for everyone, and now my Harbor lubester, sits next to his new buddy an Erie 50 branded in the Harbor theme. Thanks to T-Way for helping me design some decals to fit between those great "art deco" corners. As you can see, I have a lot of people to thank for making this dream come true. Thanks to All !

That does look great in your room Don. That is a great pump sitting in a very nicely "decorated" room. I'd certainly give my eye teeth for that stuff.
