HOPING Y'ALL HAD A GREAT PETRO BUYING WEEK!

THANKS!

OOPS...FORGOT TO MENTION THIS IS THE 7TH ANNIVERSARY FOR THE "BUYS OF THE WEEK" THREAD WHICH STARTED IN 2004! 364 "BOTW" THREADS!

this erie followed me home will stay as is.

All it needs is a globe.

Bought these Eco Islanders model 242 with Keithia. I can't believe how heavy they are. I was also suprised to see the rollers around the hoses are wood and not rubber. The bad thing is we only got 1 light that goes on these.

Hey Doc, that's awesome, 7 years!! Well done. I know this site would not be the same w/o you.

Went to a country auction yesterday. I should have spent alot more than I did, but.....I did get this stuff. There was some nice stuff there.



And I bought this box of old plates, I knew they were good, but had no idea how good until I looked through them. Complete run of NY plates Pre 1910 all the way to 1922, All pairs with exception of 1914. Some multiple pairs. I cleaned up the 1910's and 1911's and they are not that bad.


Also got a HUGE HEAVY Champion Spark Plug sign, but I'll have to post that later. Still in the van!!!

Not a buy, but a "gift of the week". I opened this box to find all of the items shown. A gift from Rick Brinneman "Houston Gasoline" The man is all class !

Original double sided neon...two embossed porcelain signs are fitted back to back for the can.

Anyone have onother...or seen one?

Here are my Buys from about the Last 3 Months...

Some Cans..


Couple Signs with Patina. The Ford has alot of Patina but the price was right and it looks great with the Brick Paneling in the Garage behind it.



Picked Up this Lens from The "Famous" Texapelican!!

More stuff for the collection;
Couple more cans;



A NOS in the box oil dispaly sign;


A thin plastic 3D oil can display. Had sticky tape on it to put up on a window or something, pretty fragil, never saw another one before. Going to make a frame with a low wattage light bulb in it and light it up



A glass insert for an oil cabinet, want to light this up too



And one more can!

Picked up this Kendall Thermo:

A COUPLE AUTOMOTIVE DISPLAY CABINETS AND AN EARLY SIGN

GREAT STUFF GUYS....KEEP 'EM COMING!

3 36B PUMPS WITH MINT TOPS AND ENCO SIGN ALMOST MINT ONE REAL SMALL CHIP AND ORIGANAL BAND.

WOW THAT ENCO SIGN IS SWEET (SIGN GUY HERE )

AND WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN "3" 36B'S WITH THEIR MINT TOPS! WOOT! DOUBLE WOOT! NICE HAUL!

I picked this up last week… Sure wish I knew someone with the last name Carr that was looking for one of these? Wink, Wink…. (It's here waiting for you Mike!)

Its crazy how this stuff moves around the country. Me T-bird and a couple others are within an hr of Troy.

It is crazy how the stuff moves- but people use to pick these areas not to long ago..they must have missed some spots because I find my hard to find items locally!

Keith, Your'e a Good Man! I don't know how you do it, but thanks. This makes up for the auction at Columbus. I truly owe you one.

This is what this site should be about. As Paddy asked, "Where has all the fun gone?", this puts the fun in collecting and sharing.
