Tom and Jim, thanks for sharing the pics. Looked like a good show.
Does anyone know who was selling the 1 piece "gasoline", "filtered gasoline", and "guarantee measure" glass globes. Looked like the person had some good prices on them. Wondering if they got snatched up by someone? Greg

Greg--Steve has started a business doing reproduction one piece gas globes. He has many different designs available and could probably be contracted to produce a "custom" piece also. He does the work himself in a nice area he built into his garage. Globes are high quality glass and his work is very nice.

Thanks Ryan and Kevin for the info on the glass globes. I thought they were originals. They look very good for reproductions. Steve does a great job with his globes, but I only like to spend my hard earned cash (what little I have) for the real McCoy. Greg

Just made it back to CA. yesterday. Ray has me beat in driving mileage. I only drove about 1,850 miles!It was a great show and even though you see a lot of pumps in the photos you might want to know that they sold very fast pre sale or not. I have been attending this show for 11 years and have never seen so many pumps with sold tags before the show even started. It did not matter if they were 50s pumps or the earlier stuff (they sold)!! I bought the Wayne 866 atlantic pump and the Rapid Dayton 1420 cash recorder, and decided to resell them due to the great interest and demand at this show. I ended up taking home a Sharmeter cash recorder not seen in the photos for some reason, and the green Wayne 40 that you see in the photo. The best part of this show is mingling with all the other petro people that enjoy the same crazy stuff!
Good seeing alot of you guys there!
Rob

Thanks for the plug Kevin.But,this is far from a business, just something i wanted to try. I don't want to do this every day. It takes several hours to do one globe, pretty labor intense to lay out the mask and get it ready to go.I am surprised how many have sold to pump resto people and a couple of high end collectors for early pre-vis pumps just because the 12" are so hard to find. Same for the generic globes that came on the pumps, FILTERED GASOLINE, GUARANTEED MEASURE etc.These are the ones i would like to make or custom logos.

Ryan is right on all the good stuff was pre-sold. If I ever decide to sell my good pumps I am going to load up and just drive in and sit back and watch the feeding frenzy. The show was more fun in the past when pre sales were kept to a min.

I was really disappointed in the lack of "good pumps". I went to Iowa with a substantial amount of money looking to buy something neat. Needless to say, I came home with alot of money. Strange.

My girlfriend and I went looking for a pump for are new house and taught we would come home with one even arranged a ride back for it. But everyone that we liked was sold she tried hard to get one but didn't she and I both were disappointed. We had a lot of offers to have them built for us.
