Title: Couple of new acquisitions... Post by: SIGNGUY on October 22, 2009, 04:52:17 pm Thought I'd share a few recent finds and some recent projects just finished...
Thanks to Rod from Funtronics, was able to land a fair deal on another 81b which was in Greenbay WI. and since I was there for the Packers Game last week, was an easy pickup! Thanks Rod! Most know I like the Gas pumps as well, and have been looking for a National A-38 Pump for the collection, and found this one close to home! Recently finished up another Gas pump (for Myself) finally.. so this one is going out front of the shop! It's a Tok 300.. I like the shell colors.. nice and bright! and finally found this Coke Lollipop sign at a Garage Sale recently... Lady had it in the back of the garage.. spotted it and asked how much.. she said give me $25.00 for it.. :biggrin: I couldn't get the money out fast enough!.. few bullet holes , but nice display.. Stuff is still out there... Thanks for looking.. :biggrin: Title: Re: Couple of new acquisitions...

Yeah , pretty stoked about the sign too.. I had a Really nice one a few years back and when I was thinning out my sign collection, it was one that sold.. got good money for it as it was Really nice, only one small 1/4 size ding in it.. sold for Big $$$ The other stuff, will sit for a while as I have quite a few customer projects to work on in the next few months. Currently restoring a Bennett 756 for a customer, also have a VMC 88 and Vendo 39 as well as Two Gas Pumps for one customer, plus another v81b for a new customer I just got yesterday.. so will be busy in the shop for the next few months! Not even sure what I'll be looking for in Chicago, but wouldn't miss it and am excited to go... see some of you there Title: Re: Couple of new acquisitions...

A great deal on the Coke sign. Your gas pump l@@ks awsome. I'm getting ready to do one just like your Shell pump, but doing mine in MobilGas. Look forward to seeing you at the show. Rod Fun-Tronics |
