Title: Cool find in Southern, MO Yesterday Post by: coke_and_stuff on January 16, 2011, 02:19:49 pm On my way back from the Gas & Oil show yesterday afternoon I hit a few antique stores and bought this.
Its a Top for a Mills 47-N or a Mills 98-A I am still undecided if im going to keep or sell. It would be a good display piece done up right.

This does not look too bad though, rare find.

This morning I did a search on ebay and sure enough there is another one listed. The one on ebay has alot better patina on it than mine. It has a reserve I wonder if it will be met?

You know that would make a killer topper for a display case/shelving unit for smalls like your straight sided bottles. Kinda like those gas pump displays. Very nice find. |
