Nice clean looking shop Jim . That is a good idea with the drywall jack for sure . Lots of work but it will be worth it . Our old shop house was white metal ceiling and osb painted walls , I loved it as it was nice and bright . Had about a foot of blow in cellulose insulation above the metal and it stayed cold in summers and warm in the winters very well.

Great haul!

Love the book Jack! I really appreciate it, and it was nice to meet you at Iowa Gas

Welcome to OldGas!

Welcome to OldGas!

Thanks Darin, and the repro’s keep coming.

Great project car, Travis. Love that you're doing it with your daughter. I've always preferred the '67 to '70 Mustang fastbacks.

You say when you're coming and I'll be there with my Mustang. DQ has a show every first Saturday of the month. There is a show / cruise on Main Street at the old Texaco on Sat, August 25. Meet 5 pm, cruise 6:30 pm.

Thank you, it has probably been sold by now. Great pictures though, thanks.

The only thing wrong with this globe besides needing new paint is the DAMAGED BASE. As shown in the photos, even with the damage it will sit on its own on a fla7 surface. It will also sit in a base. Low side on this globe in the cd is 1250. My price is 750.00 plus 50.00 to be shipped correctly and insured. Globe is listed on some FB pages, but is not on eBay.
Feel free to ask questions.

A true work of art.

Last week I was in Austin Texas and I visited the Lyndon Johnson Ranch in Stonewall, a little over an hour west of Austin. The Ranch includes the mansion where LBJ would work when away from Washington, and the property has some of his old limousines as well as his "Air Force one-half" plane used to shuttle him and diplomats to the ranch. While wandering around the property I found three old gas pumps, clearly not in working order. They appeared to be pumps used for this Presidential automobile fleet, one for diesel and two for "regular" gasoline. I glanced at the pump plate on the Regular gas pump on the left and I am pretty sure it was a Tokheim 39; however the one on the right had "Tokheim 46H" on the manufacturer's plate. Jack Sim's "gas pump bible" shows a different looking commercial pump for the 46H, while this one looked like an ordinary model 39 to me.

Just curious - was this pump labeled as 46H since it was indeed a commercial pump, as opposed to a retail pump?

Thanks for weighing in guys, it was mostly to satisfy my curiosity. I have one other idea, in Canada there is "consumer and corporate affairs" which regulates standards, weights and measures. I can't find any reference but is it possible that the tamper seal says " standards division" the crown could also represent a seal of some sort in reference to the British monarchy. I'm probably going into left field with this theory and I know its a trivial detail but interesting none the less.
