In the past couple of weeks, the iconic Savings gas station in Tupelo, Mississippi was razed. I understand they saved the neon "SAVINGS" sign. This weekend I was able to secure the final globe of the three versions known in order to complete the set.

Excellent but they look awfully close to the edge of that table! Nice to save some local history!

Awesome addition to your collection, Dave!

Aren't you glad you have no earthquakes in Mississippi? wink

Great set Dave, I have 2 of the 3 myself. 90 miles up the road we still have "Dodges Stores" which is what the Savings stations became. Great ole southern chain to collect. Now if only they had porcelain signs..........LOL
