A few of my house pets, dont have to feed them, The esso tiger came in two sizes 3 foot and 6 foot, took a long time to find, the dino tom got for me in chicago, he said he got a lot of funny looks driving home with it sticking out of his pick up truck, the barber chair was in bad shape when i got, it was missing the horse head, found a lady who carved it out of wood for me, she did a great job.

Jeff,
Those are great! I especially like the Sinclair "Dino".
I really enjoy the double takes that people do when you have a trailer/truck full of old vending/advertising stuff. People can really realte to it and I'm sure it brings back memories too.
A dinosaur sticking out of the truck window would be hilarious to see!

They are made of fiberglass, I have two small tigers and one large tiger, and one dino he is 10 ft long, the good part is that i dont feed them much

Hey Jeff Dino Sinclair belong to Big Cheese ?? There was one at the Fowlerville Show last year . Then my next question is how often do you dust all that stuff ?  Is it a never ending job or do you take a week and dusted then off for a week  . Pat |

try to dust every few weeks, lots of work, but i get my 4 year old son, to name each machine as we dust, he knows about half of all my machines. He told his teacher that he played with the mutoscope last night and she said what is a mutoscope? Did not know that terry made the dinos, new it was a repo. the tigers are made in 1960,
