gas station stuff

This is the remains of a one time killer collection. This is what a housefire can do to 30yrs. of collecting POOF. These are the ones the junk man missed. Goodyear Balloon is the the really cooked one. Good thing all that stuff used to be free. Ya don't here the words "Ya you can have that OLD junk just haul it off." anymore. Ah the days of my youth,however misspent they were.

This one was at my Grandfather station in the 1930s' on the hiway to Charleston. It's dated 1933. It survived the fire by being to big and poor of shape to be in the house. Now it was in great shape till the early 60s' when my older cousins thought it would make a great target. Remember when these where junk?

Another I have had forever.

It is without doubt a tragic thing to lose such an outstanding collection such as that. Never enough can be said about it. It looks to me though that the Standard sign in the picture above would be worth while salvaging.

Now that is a nice BIKE ! Every time I see one, I think I have to have another one, but has not happened yet. I am also impressed with your luck in surviving those accidents as well !

This is a nice display, the newspaper really caught my eye. This is a nice display. I can not think what it is called, but I had the printing plate??, used to print the front page of one of the Cincinnati papers dated De. 8th, 1941. It was made of aluminum I believe with embossed print in reverse of course. The headline was - CONGRESS DECLARES WAS, WOMAN DECLARES LONE NO VOTE . I wonder who the Woman was, and where she was from?? Anyone know ???. It showed maps also as to what islands the Japanese held and of course the tragic info as to the men lost on our ships and so on. I more or less gave it away at the Springfield Antique Show. I had given forty five for it and sold it for fifty five. After the show I got to thinking about that plate, and wished I had contacted the paper in Cincinnati to see if they would have like to have had it. I thought it was a great piece of history, and was most likely worth much more than what I sold it for.
