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. Uploaded with ImageShack.usFlying A Ethyl Globe, both lenses and mint Uploaded with ImageShack.usRestroom porcelain 2 sided, very nice one Uploaded with ImageShack.usWhitaker battery cable racks Uploaded with ImageShack.us30 inch stoddard solvent, very rare sign Uploaded with ImageShack.usVeedol Safety Check Lubrication porcelain letters Uploaded with ImageShack.usCanopy Wings, a duplicate for me, check the for sale section for my old set Uploaded with ImageShack.us27 inch chicken wing, very rare sign that was made to fit the old curb stands, duplicate but way way better than my old one Uploaded with ImageShack.usBurnbrite flange, another duplicate and my old one is better but will keep this one Uploaded with ImageShack.usanother Stoddard sign, first one I've seen in person Uploaded with ImageShack.usVeedol tombstone that's near mint another page coming
