Thought I'd share a few recent finds and some recent projects just finished...
Thanks to Rod from Funtronics, was able to land a fair deal on another 81b which was in Greenbay WI. and since I was there for the Packers Game last week, was an easy pickup! Thanks Rod!
Most know I like the Gas pumps as well, and have been looking for a National A-38 Pump for the collection, and found this one close to home!
Recently finished up another Gas pump (for Myself) finally.. so this one is going out front of the shop! It's a Tok 300.. I like the shell colors.. nice and bright!
and finally found this Coke Lollipop sign at a Garage Sale recently... Lady had it in the back of the garage.. spotted it and asked how much.. she said give me $25.00 for it..  biggrin I couldn't get the money out fast enough!.. few bullet holes , but nice display..
Stuff is still out there... Thanks for looking.. biggrin
