I love the old pumps and signs as well If this were near where I live it wouldn't last long. This was over a 5 hour drive from my house. There was alot more stuff I saw along the way plenty of old gas pumps and signs. Tried to take as many back roads as I could.

I bet it would be hard to leave there with anything without paying. I have an old friend near me that has a bunch of stuff out like that and if he's not there..... he's watching !
It is a shame that we can't feel comfortable displaying stuff outside. I'm into signs and have several but they are all inside and I'm out in the country !

Those trips are the stuff this hobby is built on ! ! !
My philosophy has always been that the best part of collecting is getting out into all the nooks and crannies of the country-side and dig this stuff up ! ! !
With a little luck(and cash), you'll bring stuff home...
Thanks for sharing ! ! !

It's 90% Luck, and just taking the time to take the road less traveled... it's soo hard though as there are so many people looking for stuff... I ran across that old Standard Oil Sign still standing a few months back out in the sticks.. i posted it on old gas, thinking wow I found something... and I got 3-4 photos back of the same sign that others have seen, asked about, tried to buy,etc....
Still fun though!

I hope Jasman sees these pictures. She has an opportunity to set up her new store and make it look old like this...... an old fashioned bakery house!

I like that old awning! I'm thinking it would look good over my shop door. Gotta find one.
