I was very lucky earlier this summer to pick up some missing items in my Associated/Flying A globe collection plus some duplicates and some other neat Flying A items. Thought my good fortune was used up for the year until I met 2 of the nicest guys, father and son that I've had the pleasure of dealing with. The father's grandfather had a Flying A station/machine shop in a small Oregon town. He must have been quite a guy as he saved all the signs form the station and they stayed clean and dry through the years. I ran out of room and moving blankets so I have to go back in a couple weeks to pick up the other signs I bought. Yeeha
I started a deal with them a couple months ago and wrapped it up yesterday. The great thing besides these items coming form the original family is I've made 2 good friends out of the deal too. Enjoy the pics, nothing is for sale btw however there's a few duplicate items that I had and I may be selling my stuff, check the for sale section later this week, all these signs are staying together.
