This past Saturday found me spending some quality "Daddy - Daughter Time" with my 12 year old. We went to the mall and out to lunch and ran some other errands. On our way home I wanted to stop off and see an old gas station/general store that has been out of operation for years now.

Here's what we found:

 Cool building and the gas pumps are cool .

Nice. Surpised the pumps are still there.

That is really cool. You know those gas pumps kind of remind me of those bomb pop popsicles painted like that.  

I have known that there were pumps still there for a few years but hadn't seen them in a long, long time. The last time I saw them in passing they were completely covered in surface rust and not painted up like a popsicle!  :biggrin:

Did you ask if they are for sale? Those are Martin and Schwartz 80 Cyclops pumps, not super valuable, 400-450 up around me, but easy to restore and look great when done in "Traditional" pump colors..

Nope, I sure didn't. There wasn't anybody around. I'm tempted to swing by again sometime and do some asking around.

I almost think that they have probably been hit up a lot about them and they might be the type that would never sell even for a hefty sum. The kind of folks that would rather see something sit and rot.

You never know...
Good luck!

I'd at least swing by and look in the windows if the place isn't posted."Old general store"......Could be loaded with treasures!  :hopefull:
