I got a call from an old friend about a week ago about some stuff that had to be cleared out of a building she was remodeling, she wasn't sure if I'd be interested. It was all headed for the dumpster, I was amazed, brought it all home yesterday, not quite done yet. The Iroquois is of course my favorite, the Counties clock has milk glass faces and a brass case, very heavy and it's American made, Hood Creamery is faded but very early and has a chimney cap. There was more I didn't take pictures of, best Tuesday I've had all year!

I find it hard to believe anyone would still throw out old advertising signs this day and age with all the "publicity" it gets!
Nice save Neil!

...someone gave you $10,000+ worth of stuff? I'd say that's the best Tuesday you're ever going to have...


Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

One word: Sweet!
Good luck comes in threes they say-buy a lottery ticket or two.
