If you wait long enough...been looking for a complete Southland globe for years. My Wayne 60 will be so happy to get a hat. This one has been in a barn waiting for me. The other pieces are just icing on the cake. I wonder if third grade gasoline can move up to fourth grade?

A few more cans and some great promo cars.

Is there any way to get the paint off the empires without hurting the can graphics.

All the Sohio items were at a small auction several weeks ago. Probably not many shopping bags survived. Sohio does not show up in the Iowa area. Fram clock, Churchill Spray can and Motorcraft rack all from various sales. Happy Hunting, Raymond

Drove an hour this morning and picked up the 2 on the left. Far left has no studs and some touch up at bottom tip. I'm keeping the top center, which has studs and only one chip near the fletching, and will get rid of the left and right. The right was the first sign I ever bought. It was time to upgrade.

Cool!... dates Oct. 1936. "King For A Day" was a 2 month (Oct. 1 - Dec. 1) sales contest amongst Gilmore dealers. 82 dealers won 24 hours, all expenses paid by Gilmore, to do whatever they wanted. This contest coincided with the "Vote For Red Lion" advertising campaign. I imagine you've seen those pinbacks before.
