Found Along the Way...

« on: March 22, 2007, 09:28:30 am »

Was tooling through Northern Wisconsin for work yesterday and took as many backroads as I could so I could "Hunt" for stuff... Came across this. Not Soda Related, but still cool! I left my name and phone number if they where interested in selling?

Now that is a beautiful sight. Wonder what else is around, where are the pumps, other signs?

I wonder how many times someone has asked about the sign?

If they have the "flame" that goes on the top.. your set!!

Let us know how it turns out...

Yeah.. hope you get it!....Wonder what's in that building that's caving in...
Or what's in the back rooms... Could have old an juke box in there,
old vending machines... It could be a gold mine! I'm sure it was years ago.. never know what they hung onto. Good Luck!

I'd settle for that newspaper seller out front but it won't fit in the case.

I did nose around a bit, but noone was there.. and looked around back, expecting to find some old pumps or something. No luck. See that they took such good care of the place ':<img

:'> , I'm sure there will be two very nice Wayne 60's in near mint condition sitting inside the collapsed garage next to the signs! '<img

'> . I'll be back up that way in a few weeks and will stop back in to see if I can talk with someone...Was kinda fun making the bend in the road and seeing that peering out... would've been better if there where an old 81 sitting on the front porch, and a Barber Pole hangin on the front of the building, but oh well.

Theres an old station with a standard pole still up in southern, MO. sitting with it are 4 or 5 Bennett 700 series gas pumps, and a few old tire signs. Nothing is for sale but a very cool sight indeed. Thanks for sharing.

Nice sign I hope you get it. It may be big but they still display well on the side of a shop, fence or barn....

Nice. I have been working on a local "Douglas Oil" sign for quite some time. This is the one with the heart with wings.
