Awesome colors on your meter T-way.
Thanks to fellow oldgasser, Ralph White, I've got a present under the tree.

Hey guys, just saw your post this morning and loved all the pics. Here is the only parking meter that I have. This is a salesman sample with the original carrying case.

I would guess that is a Mark Time Meter and it is super nice. I see those salesman samples on eBay for the different meters and always bring the big money. Mark Time and Rhodes have similarities so it would be my guess they might have merged or one took over the other.
Just my guess.

If memory serves me correct it is a Mark Time, but I will check and post the update. I have had this one a while, I saw it at a friends house and had to have it because I like salesman samples!

Mike - Are you charging for parking at your house? If you are, there's not much spending power in those pennies your taking in...even though I guess you could make your parking fines more substantial.(LOL).

I do have a meter on the fence post out in front by the curb. It gives 6 minutes for nickles, 12 minutes for dimes & 30 minutes for Quarters. I get more spiders nesting in it than parking fees. Someday I thought about getting the gag parking fine slips and placing on cars out front. If I did that the city would be the first at my door to fine me. LOL

Michelle was so proud of me. I got the meters in a perfect row. They sure make noise when they are all ticking away the time. Three of the meters are sitting on seat posts I found at a yard sale. They are aluminum and I believe they might have come from a bass boat? The person having the yard sale did not have a clue and I am only guessing. They work perfectly for display. Seat posts are 3,4 and 7 from the left. We'll see how long they can stay in the house.

Michelle and I were driving to my Mom's and saw an Estate Sale sign. Most of the time it turns out to be just another yard sale. First thing I noticed was all the military items and it gave me a funny feeling. Then Michelle said, "Look over here". I went and saw two traffic signals and then right beside them was the Parking Meters! It clicked as to why I had the funny feeling. I asked the couple running the show to whom the Estate belong to. As the woman started to say I finished the name for her. It was my buddy. He passed away over 3 years ago and I lost all contact with his son. His stuff has been in storage all this time. I could not afford the traffic signals but I spent all my money on the meters.
