Looks like a lot of interesting stuff there

I want the sealtest ice cream sign.

Anybody going to this sale this weekend. I think Sanford and i will be their.

Tony, are you going to be there?

Shawn and I are going to be there. Planning on heading over early Saturday morning, it's probably 1-1/2 or 2 hours from the house. Phil, are you going?

No, not going. Just hoping someone will give an update on the prices. Thanks Tony.

Pretty fast auction and prices were strong i thought. Their must not be a recession in Illinois. Most of the signs had some sort of touch up, glad i was there to see them up close. I never thought i would see a tok 39 short that had been restored long ago and needed to be restored again go for 1200.00. You just never no at an auction. Its the first auction that i have been to in a long time that i spent more on food that i did on gas stuff. At least my wife didnt yell at me for bringing stuff home.

I went, didn't find any Mobil items that I wanted but bought a 85 Ford Crown Vic Station Wagon with 21,500 original miles, the original bill of sale, the dealer show room pamphlets, owners manual, and the window sticker. Very clean and drives like a new one.
