Title: Hershey show was great!
Post by: memorylane on October 09, 2011, 09:32:11 am
Hey everyone Steve and I are back from the Hershey Show, we had a great display set up under a 30x50 tent and sales were great! Better than last year but walked over 25 miles looking through 9000 vendors and nothing jumped out at me to buy.....Pocket full of cash, excited to to start buying and nothing, seems like things here on the east cost are drying up. Was anyone there from the site? Will post a few pictures later.

Looks like the Good Humor man didn't do too bad either  :biggrin:

Glad the show went well!
I heard the weather was awesome too!
My uncle was on his way but vehicle problems ruined the day so he never made the show...

I'm curious about your image #2794, it looks like a large workbench...??  The gentleman we got all the stuff for the auction this coming weekend had one and I thought it was really cool looking.  Can you tell me anything about it?  What is its collectibility or value?  Any info would be great.  Thanks.

Ken

The work bench looking thing was a Service station for in a garage or old gas station. Most of the time they would be in front of one of the bays to do there paper work on along with small repairs and this guy was asking $1500.00 and was a great price as $3k + was the least I have ever seen one go for.

Lenord I have your glass already done, just waiting on you to call and I may have a few extra shelves if you need, that I need to check. Call me on Tuesday, my wife wants new furniture for the family room and thats my Monday project.

Very nice.  Thanks for the information.  Perhaps if we make another run up there I can talk him into putting it in the auction as well.

The 39 is a restoration I had done about 8 years ago, very nice and only run very little. The customer added the extra decals here and there but still a nice machine. $3500.00 to $3800.00 It belongs to my customer who asked me to sell it for him.
