Title: Re: Had To have IT ! Post by: GreginNM on March 24, 2008, 10:29:12 am Great looking sign, Leonard!! I know a number of guys that would be all over something like that...I've been a beer can and breweriana collector for 30 years. That's from a different part of the country than where I did most of my collecting, but I know the type of sign. You got a great deal in my mind! Isn't it great when the other half throws you a curve ball like that and actually encourages a purchase?!? My V-39 that I got back in December came that way...I happened to mention that I found it on Craigslist and that it was a great deal on the machine I had always wanted. Next thing I know, she has already bought it and was asking me when we could go pick it up!!! I was used to the "you don't need anything else" answer! :down:
Don't get hooked, or you will be like me with a beer room, a soda room, and a radio room!! Title: Re: Had To have IT ! Post by: sodaworks on March 24, 2008, 02:49:21 pm Great find leonard!
