Picked up an old Alemite Workbench

Bryan-B · Jul 19, 2014

Hey guys, new on here, found this site while researching Alemite workbench cabinets. Anyways, Here's one I picked up last weekend. Is there still any interest for these things? I'm not sure I can keep it. At this point in my life, space is limited..

Beautiful. There certainly will be interest. Wish I had space for one.

i have the matching grease pump cabinet to your cabinet.
The top raises up with air cylinders and theres two drums with pumps and hose etc.

Its not as nice as yours,but its not bad.
somebody needs to restore this stuff.

930dreamer · Jul 19, 2014

That's great looking, my neighbor has one I'd like to buy.

Norcal · Jul 19, 2014

Nice find, glad to see that it's not going to the baler (scrap).

BillK · Jul 19, 2014

Boy if anything deserves a you ****

I have been looking for one of those forever. Have found a few but too far to ship. I am jealous !!!!!!!

mitusa · Jul 19, 2014

No suckage until we get the price you paid....... :lol:

Nice cabinet....I saw a Lincoln in fair shape go for $500 a couple of weeks ago. It needed cleaning and some paint...a little body work.

Bob Hall · Jul 19, 2014

Very sweet. It's almost too good to restore, I think I'd just buff and wax it it fill it with tools!

rarevair · Jul 19, 2014

Boy that is in great shape, you should have no trouble selling it if you decide not to keep it. I have a similar bench that is in the process of being restored. Painter was putting color on my cabinets yesterday. Great find.

ADSR · Jul 19, 2014

That's in amazing shape!

southalabama · Jul 19, 2014

Absent winning the lottery mega space will always be limited.

Make it fit and keep it. You'll regret it if you get rid of it. Then again if you sell it for $$$ maybe not.

nine4gmc · Jul 19, 2014

I don't see what area you are but I'm sure someone with deeper pockets than me will be along shortly to make an offer. Good find, great condition!

ltkhoover · Jul 19, 2014

I think we are all holding our breath waiting for a location and price........

Awesome score, Congrats!!!! If you decide to let it go, Man oh man, this would so fit my 40's Buick Sales and Service Garage.

Bryan-B · Jul 20, 2014

I know I'll regret it if I do sell it. I'm in Gillette WY, right on I90. What do you guys suppose its worth? I haven't found one like it for sale, the ones I've seen have cabinets on the side.

nine4gmc · Jul 20, 2014

It's not worth much, maybe $40-50 depending who wants it :lol_hitti

J/K, that condition, just guessing here but $1000 maybe twice that if you're real lucky?

nicksnothereman · Jul 20, 2014

Beautiful was also my first thought. Doesn't even need new hardware.

Old Steamer · Jul 20, 2014

Nice find, I like it! As already said, buff and wax then fill it with tools. :thumbup:

C96 · Jul 20, 2014

Great find, that thing is sweet!

RVDan · Jul 20, 2014

That's so awesome I would instal it in my kitchen

mitchtr25068 · Jul 20, 2014

That bench is worth way more than you think to someone that collects petroliana. Go to oldgas.com, and I'd think you could easily post it on the for sale section and get $2,500 or even well more than that given the amazing condition it is in. That is a major find

softailgarage · Jul 20, 2014

Honestly, those old Alemite's are worthless, these guys are being nice 'cause yer a newby. I'll tell you what, I'll take care of it for you, pack it up and send it to me . I'll even let you cover shipping

buzz4041 · Jul 20, 2014

Very nice find that is super cool

600SL · Jul 20, 2014

That's cool. I've never seen one of those. I'm not a collector of old stuff but that looks useful and would definitely like one in my shop.

coljar · Jul 20, 2014

I'd have absolutely no place to put one if I found one, but you know what? I'd either knock a wall down or get rid of something if I were to find one. Those things are so cool.

I'm probably going to be at the Home Depot in Gillette next week. Any chance a fellow GJ member could stop by and look at this thing? I'll bring a drool rag.

Yeah that'd be fine, just let me know when you're around

FJ 432 · Jul 20, 2014

I'm in Denver. When you have a price set I maybe interested. Shoot me a PM.

Bryan-B · Aug 9, 2014

Well, I've decided to sell her. Can't post in classifieds because I don't have enough post history. Asking $3200. PM me if interested. Wanted to offer on here before I go Ebay. Thanks

don long · Aug 10, 2014

Here is mine

BikerDad · Aug 11, 2014

Don, that's beautiful. I may be a bit biased though, as Texaco has always been my favorite oil company, and I'm a fan of Art Deco industrial design.

Don, that is gorgeous! Haven't you run out of room yet?

Bogey won · Aug 11, 2014

Isn't it funny things that you never gave a second glance to in the day, have become admired and coveted in the present ? What a find !!!, I have no room in the garage of the house for it, but i would put it in my living room and throw the damn couch out, its that kinda deal, and you **** big time, feels good don't it?.

Thanks You know what they say "there's always room for jello"
I am anticipating getting another old gas station in the next few weeks
So This would find its home there.

Bryan-B · Aug 20, 2014

Well, looks like its new home will be with don long out in so cal. Looking forward to seeing how he fixes it up and works it into his collection! Thanks for all the comments and the "you *****" ;-) You guys are great!

SweetD · Aug 20, 2014

That is great that it worked out going to a fellow GJ member - nice!

Looking forward to seeing Don's resto - :beer:

Wingnut65 · Aug 20, 2014

Beautiful find, Bryan. Those are few and far between. If you know where to find more, go into business brokering them.

Nice score, Don!

Mooniac · Aug 20, 2014

Beautiful! I'd love to have one in my hangar someday. Thanks for posting and passing it along to a new home where it will shine.

SILVERPLATE · Aug 20, 2014

Just over the top, outrageous awesome. I want one!
