Hello,
I am starting to build a gas station. I would like the signs to be rough, and not super expensive. If you can, would like them to be shipped. I would prefer that they would be 48'', or 42''. I am only looking for 2 pumps, 1-2 signs, and 1 pole. I would like a hanging pole. I would like the pumps to be unrestored. I will trade, but I do not have much.
Thanks!!

...there's a Mobilgas pump plate on eBay right now, as well as a piece of the Mobilgas ad glass that is shown in one of the pumps in the picture...and here's your shield: http://www.icollect247.com/itempage.php?uniqueid=55032

GSG......Wayne 70's really aren't that hard to come by for a decent price. Jack's second book has them at either $600 or $700 and with the economy the way it is who's going to pay full retail. I got this one a few weeks ago in pretty nice original condition for $400.

You might wanna start with a model station. Figure out what ya really want and save save save! No sense in buying junk now cause you haven't saved! It'll be worth it!
