Title: Gas Pump Globe
Post by: pepsi-perk on November 24, 2009, 06:01:52 pm
Hey Gas Pump Folks -

I was in Nashville INDIANA (not Tennessee) over the weekend taking my son for some drum & bugle corp tryouts and used up my spare time at antique stores and the like.

I found this gas pump globe at a shop down by the Indiana U. Campus.  I don't have any idea what these are worth or how rare they are or anything, but thought I would post it in case someone is looking for one of these since I see a lot of you guys tend to foam at the mouth around gas pumps.  Anyway, in case you are interested - I do not know the name of the shop but it is at the corner of College and 2nd Street.   The price tag on it was $275.

Cya.

Yeah...I kept trying to remember to fire off a post of my travels to see if I would be by anyone, but just plain forgot.  I would have loved to stop by and chat machines and check out your collection...I only had a couple of days there to find stuff to do by myself...it's not like I couldn't have squeezed it in.

Oh..in case anybody is interested...this shop is in Bloomington, Indiana...not Nashville IN.

Matt,

Is that the shop down the street from the Bloomington Hospital? I had an out of town buddy (Wisconsin) who had mentioned it to me. I haven't had a chance to make it up there for "goofing-off" purposes! You still have that Stoner Base?
