I dont think I've seen a post about Peotone... dont forget, only 10-days away! Setup is March 11 and show is March 12. One of best run shows there is... very specific times and requires no time off work for the M-F guy. Hope to see many of you there!

Just did a search and found the pictures from the show last year. I had no idea how much was available for sale!
Will there be pictures posted the night before like last year?

It's too bad that Mason-Dixon is same weekend. John Mancino won't be at Peotone. I'm planning on going but won't be setting up. Better wear the long johns! Forecast has changed from a high of 52* four days ago to now a high of 27* and a low of 20* with 1-3" of snow for Saturday. And of course the wind will be blowing 10-20! BRRRRR!!

the snow looks like it may stay away completely.
nothing better than a nice cozy warm indoor swap meet... and when you get too hot, just step outside to look at the pumps and outside vendors!
some of the busiest swap meets are when the weather is a bit cold, cause people aren't doing stuff outside at home!

There's a LOT of items in these pictures that were already gone by the time I raced around the place at 8am for the regular shopping time. I'm guessing the early buyer's extra hour and a half head start really does make a difference. I didn't think it would!
Can someone please tell me how much the Sterling Gasoline sign was? I want one but never saw it there.

A lot is bought and sold on Saturday. Some people only attend Saturday, and don't bother with going Sunday.

Thanks for taking the time to post the photos, Jim. Does anyone recall who had the Royal Triton Motor Oil sign, and perhaps the price? This sign is in Photo #8 on the first page of this thread. Thank you. John

Saturday is setup day. Early bird buyers can get in for $50 Thanks. Didn't realize there was an unadvertised early bird buyers day on Saturday for $50 due to the advertised early bird buyers time of 6:30am on Sunday for $20, before the advertised regular admittance of $5 for Sunday at 8am. Not cool.

Most know every show has a day before set up fee,be you vendor or not.
It's not advertised as well on their main front page,but if you click on the VENDORS button on their flyer tab,it's clearly shown in the bottom right sentence.
..."Saturday Buyer Fee $50.00 per person."

Dealers at any show always get a crack at buying other dealers items before the public. Come on setup day and bring your own stuff to swap or pay the early bird fee. This is a great show with lots of buyer traffic and gas pumps.

When this show first started there was only general admission on Sunday. It was a mad house. Buyers would practically run through the swap meet.
The format evolved over the years to what they have now. Vendors and early buyers on Saturday, early buyers at 6:30 and general admission at 8:00 on Sunday.

Can someone please tell me how much the Sterling Gasoline sign was? I want one but never saw it there. Maybe I should ask what people think the value of a sterling sign like this could be? I'm wondering if I could even afford one if I found one, or just put the pursuit of one out of my mind. Thanks.

Does anybody have the contact information for the trailer of pre- visible gas pumps next to Tom Buckles trailer? I believe his name was John Cramer.
