It’s that time again, and I figure this should be a week with lots of good stuff being just a couple of days after Iowa gas. I hope everyone had a great time at the show! I missed it this year, but I will not miss it next year! I did however make it to Hot August Nights in Reno NV where I still managed to run into a few fellow oldgassers at the swap meet. Here are a couple of things I managed to pick up. Keep them coming everyone!

It’s amazing to me how you think you know someone and then they shock you with an “oh by the way I have one of those…” Well that happened on Tuesday in a casual conversation with a friend. We were talking about Hancock stuff, and he said “ I’ve got a couple of the signs I believe are Hancock truck door signs that I found in one of the old stations I bought, and I’ll give you one.. heck they even had the paper in between them when I found em”. I replied if you have a Hancock truck door sign I’m not going to let you just give me one, as he is a collector as well and loves this stuff too. I quickly showed him a picture of what they look like, and he said “no they don’t look like that but I’ll send you a picture of what I have later tonight”. As usual he forgot to send the picture and he knows my curiosity was gonna get the best of me. The anticipation was killing me! I patiently waited until Wed, and then Thursday….again Friday, so finally I sent him a text asking if he ever got a chance to take the photo to send to me. He quickly replied with a photo and said here they are…I told him those are new or stick rooster pump plates not the truck door signs he thought, but I let him know that I was very interested in one because I didn’t have one in my collection yet. I started brain storming to try and come up with something I was willing to part with, and at the same time he would be interested in.. Well a deal was struck and here it is; NOS like he said, and he handed it to me with the paper on it….Wow…I just about fell out!

...then on the way home from the Iowa Gas auction we were on Highway 141 where there was a 100 mile plus garage sale going on along it. My brother Racecop and I were dodging garagsalers and were just about to turn off 141 when my brother says turn around I think I just saw a Mobil Gargoyle oil cabinet. I said no way but did a U-turn anyway and sure enough there it was! Now it is home. Never know what you are going to find!!

Well,it's someone's BOTW but not mine. a friend spotted it for me at the Street Rod Nationals at Louisville KY (I was not there). I did make a play for it but hurdles remained. Oh well. Had to share because it did rock!!!

My Iowa gas buys. Many thanks to Tom Buckles for working with me on the tanker cabinet. Found a nice straight and complete GB 87. Also found this awesome firestone spark plug cabinet that has the painted spark plug diagram glass in tact.
