The flying pegasus horses are awesome. I need a weather vein like that on my place! Good finds. Hopefully i can post some pics soon of where i live. There is tons of old fill stations that are neat to see along with some visible pumps outside.

Was that one-piece GULF globe buried once or just overly dirty?! Looks like it could have been excavated. Great photos for sure.

Here's an old Sinclair station about 8 miles from where we live, there's a picture for sale on eBay of the station in it's heyday. Stopped and talked to the owner a few months back, and he told us the last guy to run the station raised his family in it, there is living quarters in the back of the station. Will probably go up for auction one day, would love to buy it and restore it.
Here's a Then and Now...You can still see where the Sinclair signs used to hang...

The Old Dutch Mill MFA gas station in Missouri on Route 50 at Hwy 19. Unique old building still in operation. Inside they also sell live bait and tackle.
