As 2015 is coming to a close, wanted to take a minute and see what everyone's favorite find(s) were in 2015 and what you all may be hunting for in 2016.

I would say this was my favorite find this year. Mainly because I went to mow the lawn, it broke in my hand trying to start it, so I went flea marketing.

Both good questions. Looking ahead to 2016 I'm hoping to land either a Cavalier 27 or 33. Can be either a 8+ original or reasonably priced restored. Also a Pepsi 33 would also be nice.

Well my greatest finds this year was the Mills 45 , the Glasscock deluxe and  the 7 up 81 I acquired and my hopes for 2016 would be an Icy -O machine. One can only hope!!!!! Happy New Year to all here on the site.

My favorite 2015 find was the VMC 7up 81 I found for Leonard. 

For 2016, I want to find a VMC RC Cola 81 for me!

My favorite find for the year was coming back to the hobby ( obsession) after a 14 year absence and realizing that I kept a lot of really cool stuff in storage. Now.... Onward and upward!
