Can someone tell me who had the Gulf thermometer for sale ?
Thanks for the pics.
I have a lot of pics from the Hershey show,just trying to find time to post them.
Rock

I believe Dan Matthews and Lonnie Hopp both had the globes. Prices however I can't help.

Lonnie that hosts our Globe of the Month had the Imperial Ethyl globe... i think maybe $285 but don't hold me to that. olddutchgas@hotmail.com is his e-mail. Put globe in subject.

Dan's boy have the Imperial on capco. E-mail Dan at danm@matthewsauctions.com Put globe in subject.

I see Bill Fortune in the first pic.

Anyone know who had the Outboard cans on display, the Picture is of several Texaco , Duplex,and a CO-OP Outboard cans .

Les and Cathy from Union Pier had them.

Did the Service Neon sign sell?

Any idea what the price tag was on the Bowser with the 66 shield globe?

Thanks,
Kurt

Thank you for posting the pictures. I like the Southwest pump.

Got home about two hours ago after an 8 hour 560 mile trip. Got several things I was after in the auction and a few I didn't plan on bidding on. Show sales were good and I picked up a few more things during the show. Nice to see old friends and fellow oldgasers again. Bill Fortune. Waiting for the next one!

Thanks for taking and posting the pictures for those of us unable to go. jack

Echoing the thanks for the pictures. I wasn't able to make it this year, either.
Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what percentage attendance was down? Given the recent drop in gas prices, I'm rather surprised.

Your welcome guys.
Jim, Lynda's cookies were definately the highlight of the show!!! She baked enough for everyone and then went person to person making sure everyone got one! She's a true sweetheart! She has done so for a couple years now! Thanks soo much Linda!!!
KFH, I will email owner and ask a price for pump for you...
Maps for memories,
The traffic was ONLY half what it usually is. Vendor turnout was down about 25%...
Definately a direct result of the wonderful economy...

Hey there everyone. Got back last night from Peotone & was zapped from fighting the darn wind the whole way. Anyway it was a good time & met some people that I have not met before & ones I already have. We went out for pizza on Saturday night & man that pizza was good. Got me a few globes & some lenses from T-way will post pic's later. Hey Kurt I have a Bowser just like that one for sale in the for sale section. Let me know if you are interested. Well like Bill said waiting for the next one

It seemed like a low turnout Sunday,but I found most everything I was looking for,while still having the time to meet with new people,so that was a nice bonus that you usually don't have time for.
I do wish I brought more money with me though..
Cookies were very good and the weather was much better then was earlier predicted for here I thought.
It was nice to talk to our host Jim P. again,and I'd like to thank Tom Buckles for his assistanace and knowledge base too.
He always comes through,or tells you who can.
Thanks Tom.
This is always a great personal show that never disappoints in my book.

Thanks for all the pictures! Hope to make it out there sometime. Can anyone tell me who had the CONOCO KEEP OUT sign? Thanks
Ric

The Conoco sign was Ron Hoyts,promoter of Iowa Gas.The neon sevice sign sold
Jim

The Gulf thermometer was mine, brought it with me to the show. It sold just as I was packing to leave. Was really nice, one of the best I have seen. Was a great show even though there were low numbers of vendors and buyers. Jim, the cookies were great as always. It was good to see alot friends. Thanks all who participated.

Another good show, foot trafic was down. I got a few small things, got a line on a globe. Bought a old pump off my brother on the way home.
Waiting on show set up;

I think if I were you Butch I'd duck.Must be you beat Ron to a sign,looks like he's got you in his sites!@#$%^^&**(

Thanks Tom & Wes for the great pictures. Here are a few more.

Traffic was down, but I still did OK selling petro books. I enjoyed talking to a bunch of Oldgassers. Really appreciate the encouraging words. Bought a few things I'll show on the Showcase forum.

Who had the Texaco filling station 42" round? And the Beacon Oils sign in the very first pic of this post? Anyone know? Dave

[This message has been edited by BBQ Chicken (edited 10-29-2008).]

Greg Arnold "Bustermonty" on oldgas had the Beacon sign. Don't know on the Texaco sign.

Hi, You were close. Greg Greenberg is Bustermonty. BBQ give me a call about the Beacon sign 1-800-862-6912

Greg, sorry for the mistake on your last name. The mind starts to go as we age. At least I had your handle correct. LOL.

Mick,
It looks like a TOKHEIM 39 or later

Ken
My brother had the Oak Motor Oil sign. It sold at the show, had a few buggers but was still a nice sign.

Wes

thanks again
ken northenscold

Just catching up on some missed posts. There is a white Rose sign on page two. Anyone aware of who was the vendor? thanks Colin

Thats Florida Mike!
I will look for his card???
If someone knows his number right off feel free to post...Thanks!

I know this is a long shot but who had the pennzoil one gallon can ? Thanks, M

If it's the pennzoil can on table with the cities service 1/2 gal. cans I think it was Leonardoil;;;;;;;;;;;Ron

Pennzoil can belonged to Jim. Here is his e-mail 2464@ispmgtDOTcom You can remove the dot and insert your . as this will keep spam down.

He's going to see if he still has it. Thanks to all who read the old pages! M
