Title: A great find in a tax sale, anyone close?
Post by: memorylane on June 29, 2013, 07:54:15 am
I got a call from a lady in tulsa oklahoma, her husband bought an old building in a tax sale and it used to be an old store that the owner died and was closed up in the late 50's and the family never paid the taxs, when they got in it, theres alot of stuff, a Pepsi Cooler, Ice Cream Cooler, signs and lots of stuff from the store, she said it looks as if they closed up one day and never re-opened. Pictures coming over the weekend. Anyone close need a Pepsi cooler, she said it's big, too far for me but might be good if someone lives close. I'll keep you posted.

Also, Looking for Stoner Theatres and 6 pulls Paying Good for theatres, I'll buy 1 or as many as you got. The ones that know me, know I pay wright away and pay top dollar I'm working on a Museum and have an order for 100+ Candy machines, this is for real, I just bought 20 machines from one guy. Anyone looking for work call me as I'm sending soda machine restoration work to whoever needs it. I don't want anything out of it I'm just too booked to do anything other than Candy Machines. This was the first delivery to the Museum along with 55+ Rare Gumball Machines from the early 1900's
