I will back up what the Chandlers have said. GREAT show, even better hospitality. I am still full. Just a great day all around. Got to meet alot of neat people and got to put a face with quite a few oldgassers. I sold absolutely everything I took, and even did a little horse tradin' with nochevys Tom for a great Shell Clamshell globe. (I'll post pics of that in Buys Of the Week later. Thanks John and Terresa for a really great time. Well I have to start finding stuff for next year. Some of what I had left after the initial shock of the swarm I had after I pulled in. It went fast!! Nice expression here on nochevys Tom peddeling his goods. Not a great shot, but just a SMALL view of who was there These folks came up from Arkansas on vacation and bought ALOT. They cleaned me out of alot and nochevys as well.
Always looking for Ithaca Gun and Lucky Sam soda items!!!

Yes it was a great time, good seeing everyone again. Brought home a bunch of stuff- signs, cans, lenses, license plates, matchcovers, etc. Thanks to John for putting on a good show and to Therese and Eunice and Pat for feeding us.
Looking for photos, etc from 60s era Shell-A-Rama gas station and Pal's Diner, Rt. 17 Mahwah, NJ & US or state highway signs, shields, route markers

Doc Look at the Oilzum sign of theirs, I think it says Lebron or something like that on it. I assume it is the one guy(S) that does sign restorations. I was not at this show, but I have seen them at Columbus and other places. Someone should know who they are.
