Great pic's and some awesome items.

Great shots Charles! Thanks for sharing, I'm sure there'll be more

Nice to tease me with a shot of an Invader Quart in the 2nd pic....Just Nice.

I'da been there had it not been for the cruddy weather but look the sun is out now! Oye!

Thanks for the tour!

Any idea who has the Ford Electricial Wiring rack and how much?

if that Nicolene and Universal Globe and American Oil Club lighted sign somehow do not get bought and make it back, please let me know!! Cool Stuff!!

Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the great pics!!!!

Thanks for the pics! I do enjoy the National Batteries sign-it's very old looking.

How much is that AC spark plug sign that is on the cardboard? I am very interested in it if someone can tell me the price.

More pics

What a great time......i really cant stress enough how important is to get out and feel the swapmeet atmosphere and experience! Meeting and mingling with fellow collectors can not be substituted. A lot of younger collectors in the crowd. Sales were brisk and lots of nice items were heading to new homes. Cant wait for next year!

Thx charles

Thanks for the pics!!!

Thanks Charles - Looked like a great time!

Joey....hope to see you in carlisle.

Does someone know who had the Mobilfuel Diesel metal band globe shown in the background of the Wolf's Headcurb sign on page 1. Thanks, Mike

Good seeing you again Charles.
Another great show this year at Mason Dixon.


WANTED Invader Oil,Ford and Industrial

Wow!

Great stuff in Maryland & East coast in general ...

All it takes is MONEY & TIME + 3000 miles from CA.

Any one know who had the Globe sgn?

Wish i were there,Great pics,looking for atlantic globe or lenses like in pics next to kendall clock,Thanks

Thanks for all the photos Charles, we appreciate the time it took to take and post them. A lot of nice items there!
I would be interested in the Mobil 2 pointed cloth pennant with Pegasus and stars if the seller is a member of Old Gas.
Thanks,
Darin

Will there be another swap meet anytime soon? I went after I had left work. I arrived around 12:30pm and it was a ghost town. I don't think I've ever seen a swap meet shut down before at least 3:PM. I'm in the market for some items to add to my garage, and was hoping to look around a bit. I was disappointed to find nothing there except 3 or 4 vendors inside.

This show sets up on Friday and opens at 6 A.M. on Saturday. It is usually done by noon as folks have a good deal of travel to get home. By the way, we are located in Maryland....Paul www.severngaspumps.com

Another show in a few weeks.

Man looks awesome....

More pics,some duplicates.

Charles, do you (or anyone else) know who was selling all the oil cans you have pictures of on the second page? He has some cans I need:). Thanks for your time in posting them!

Great Pics, Thank U!!

Just a few more pictures, outside.

..."nothing there except 3 or 4 vendors inside...around 12:30pm"...?

...that's just not true...I was set up at Mason-Dixon, and we started breaking down at 1PM...we had plans to visit another collector, and asked for (and received) permission from the show's principals to break down our space early...we had a five hour drive home after our visit...we did not leave the show until around 2...at 12:30 there were plenty of vendors inside and outside...

...my advice would be to take Saturday off next year and get there around sunrise...there were vendors (and buyers) outside before dawn...regarding the inside vendors: there was a line at the door, and Keith, Sr. opened the doors at 7...remember, the vendors had set everything up the day before, and were there at daybreak on Saturday...I'm not sure what kind of selection you were looking for, arriving 5 1/2 hours after the show opened...

...by the way - we had an absolute blast at this show...I asked around, and NOT ONE vendor I spoke with had complaints about foot traffic - everyone was in agreement that it was better than it had been in years...it was great seeing everyone as well - LOTS of Oldgassers at this one...I brought a couple of very cool pieces home, and got to see a bunch of my best friends in the hobby...I can't think of a better way to spend a weekend...

...I think the photos of the items available at Mason-Dixon stand up well against ANY of the show photos I've seen here, except Iowa and Columbus - and they're bigger and longer-running shows...

...I love coming to Mason-Dixon (haven't missed one in seventeen years), and I dread the day when I'm not able to...

Does anyone know who had the Texaco Filling Station sign for sale and how to contact them?

Thanks much!

Thanks very much for taking the time to take and post the pics.

I also wish to thank all the picture takers for posting them for the rest of us to see.

As always the can man and I are the last ones out the door after packing. 2:30 pm out the door. The show starts slowing down about 12:30 and people start packing a little after one,but the buyers have slowed up buy then.

It's a great hi intensity show. You see something you want, you have to decide to buy when you see or it will be gone. Lots of hard work but fun.

Great pictures and great collection of signs for sale in one place. Thanks for posting. Always nice to see what events far from home are like.

Great pictures, thanks for taking time to take them AND post them! Very impressed with variety and quality of items at this show. I've never been to this or any other eastern shows, but would now like to for sure!

I didn't get to go this year but Keith Elza is an excellent host and very helpful. It's an awesome show IMO and having that many people in the same place interested in the same things is way cool. I've been to Hershey and Carlisle as well and although Hershey is in it's own class, I'd go to Mason Dixon anytime if given a choice amongst the 3. Take the advice from above and just make the time to get there early. You won't be sorry.

Thanks for all the eye candy, I have never heard of this swap meet before. Probably for the best I would have passed out seeing all the cool stuff!

Thanks for all the positive comments on the show! This has to have been one of our best shows ever. We were completely sold out inside and if not for a few vendors that had to cancel at the last miniut we would have had all spaces full.

This was our 17th year doing the show and it seems to get better every year. The show was started by a few local friends and collectors that were tired of traveling the country to attend shows, so they decided to throw one in their own backyard. I don't think any of them expected it to grow and to still be going on 17 years later.
We owe all the thanks to our awesome vendors, some of wich have been supporting us for all 17 years. Without them we couldn't make the show the success it is, my hats off to all of them for supporting us year in and year out. We also have a tremendous group of friends and family that help us make the show a possibility, with out their work throughout the year, it wouldn't be possible.

Thanks to all of the vendors and shoppers that support us every year, with out you it wouldn't be possible.

The Mason Dixon Crew.

Does anyone know who had the Sinclair HC sign leaning against the table outside? (picture is on the 6th page of this post). Is it still available? Thanks!

Thanks for taking time to share pics to us, looks like you guys put on a killer show, love that pennzoil ethyl sign! Like to pick one up one of these days. Thanks nick

Sorry I couldn't make the trip from SC this year, looks like it was bigger than last year and much better weather!

South Carolina no reason not to go to Larry Graves show in Spencer NC this coming weekend, its close!!!!! Its's how you meet the other collectors and pick up a few goodies for your collection. I am looking forward to sleeping in the van, eating barbecue visiting friends and maybe finding a thing or two too add to my collection.

wow...lots of great stuff there looks like

Anyone know who had or info on the Skelly sign???

Thanks everyone for taking and posting so many nice photos, it's greatly appreciated by me. Looked to be some nice hard to find pieces there, hopefully they went to new homes.

Thanks Again, Doug
