Yes all true..dont feel you missed anything on Monday. I was there at 8 am on Tuesday and missed quite a bit because we started walking through the show and more than 1/2 the vendors wernt set up or werent there yet. We traced our steps on Wed and saw tons of stuff we didnt see the day before.


Mainly focused on Oilzum, Jenney, Harris Oil items & original paint gas pumps.

I got there on Tuesday also saw and acquired a couple things Wednesday morning started early and ended late. there are lots of international buyers there shopping for car parts that cant be found as easy in Europe. Good show but you have to walk slowly and look every where. I wore out my knee getting it replaced in two weeks need golf cart or mobility chair with trailer for next year.

Bottom line - I need to get to Iowa Gas next summer. It seems like THE meet to go to.

Our biggest customers this year were British, Mexican, and Canadian. Had a lot of Americans but the real money was from outside the country. Paul www.severngaspumps.com

We set up Tuesday afternoon and packed up and left Saturday morning. Tuesday and Wednesday are the days all the good stuff gets sold. I met buyers from Sweden, Holland, Germany, Australia and Canada. Great show!

Miles Little does not buy cheap pumps, I seen one clockface he picked up in his truck. Cosy brought only 3 pumps missing doors and computers. Chuck had 2 pumps on Cosy site. A Wayne 80 Ad Glass top for $900 and a Wayne 866 unrestored for $4200. He sold the Wayne 80 for $825. I picked up a Tokheim 850 Round bottom with new lower skins for $1175, One vendor in the orange field came with 5 pumps with he just lightly sanded them and did not fill in the pits and sold all 5 quickly for $1400 to $1700, They were Eries and M&S 80's. John Taylor sold 2 unrestored pumps for $1800, One was a Tok 39 Tall and a Tall Erie Computer. You can find pumps at Hershey but they are expensive compared to Iowa Gas, Short waynes at Hershey are now in the 700-800 dollar asking price compared to 350- 450 at Iowa. The trick to Iowa is to know who has the pumps and buy ahead of time. Restored pumps sell very good on the east coast if priced within a reasonable price.

Comparing Hershey to Iowa is like comparing Barrett-Jackson to your local auction house.

There is a whole new field of Buyers at Hershey who buy what they like, not what they think they can make a buck on.
