Picked up a few items at an auction

I went to an auction for the first time in quite a while...I forgot how much fun they can be - and expensive. The air meter is really nice and the popcorn vendor is in great shape with good color and I think the original decals. I see the air meters on Ebay for crazy money...what's a good price for a nice one?

Those air meters, restored, can go for around $1800 - $2k. About 800-900 if they need restored.
All three are nice items. I love the popcorn machine.

Good scores, I wanted to attend the auction but was unable to. The warmer decals do look original, the air meters in good condition with the stand I have seen from $1,200.00 on up, the heads alone can bring $800.00 or $900.00. Auctions are fun but not that many good ones around here.

Nice score on the Hershey's sign. I live about 20 minutes south of Hershey PA.

Your wife is a good woman, mine would put that on the same category as a vacuum cleaner... Don't even try it!!
