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.













Its rough but not so far gone it cant be saved.

Too bad you did not find the rest of the machine!!! That would have been a great find! This does not look too bad though, rare find.

in the 10+ years messing around with old junk Ive never seen one. 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?

Nice find Joey...
 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.
