Besides the new interest in soda machines I am a collector of brewery related signage and clocks.  Sold off a lot of it over the years - stuff I wasn't really interested in anymore, but got some really nice things that I will never part with. 

I collect any old signage and advertising clocks that catch my eye.  Also vintage neon signs are a favorite. 

I also collect advertising things to do with my hometown of St. Charles, MO....so if anybody has any signs for Big Boy Soda please let me know...also St. Charles dairy...the ultimate would be a neon sign from the dairy.  If anybody has a lead on one of these or a Big Boy sign I am interested!

I collect classic video games (coin-op and Atari 2600).  I have about 300 different Atari games and the coin-ops are spilling over into the in-law's basement. I also colect records.  I started in the early 80's by picking up a couple of new 45's each week.  Now I tell my wife that I need some new tunes for the jukebox!

My wife & I have some hot rod cars and that naturally led to restoring gas pumps, etc and that led to restoring soda machines and picnic coolers.  Kind of a progressive disease.  I'm currently restoring a 1950's EZ Kutr electric reel type lawnmower for a friend.  I will post pics if anyone is interested.

Nice  one of these days I will get a gas pump as well as a one of the air meteres. Just seems that around by me these are always priced like they are made of gold. But I keep looking.
