Then things got weird. Noticed that the roof of the building we were in was built entirely of old billboards. Took a couple down and asked if there were any others. Got directed to the "plywood" shed where signs were stacked like a lumber yard. Most of them were parts of large signs that were only painted with someone's name for a local political office. Here were the ones we saved.
Photo Dump!
You definitely **** for the sweet signage!!Last ones... until the next trip because we couldn't fit it all on.
Thanks! I reported finding one on this thread and then elaborated on the 'Metal Cans' thread.
Wow! Just wow! That's a serious haul. I love the apple and the gentleman with the top hat.
Tools for adjusting and tightening the clutch cable nuts and lock nut on Type 1 (Bugs) and Type 2 (Buses) VWs. I have kind of lost track of mine.
Great pick overall Brockmub. The carb box might clean up real good. Lugz I say this tank is close enough to be considered the 3rd piece in the GJ Triad. Note : I typed this before scrolling completely to the end. I see you got it covered .Wanted to post this specifically for Lugz. I think on another thread he was asking about these. NIB 5 gallon Perfection stove oil reservoir, misspelled/correctly spelled EMTY, with instructions.
Nice haul there! The green and white Wayne marked ones are pretty hard to find, so you **** for a dollar.Pretty slow day at the monthly flea market, but I did find these for a dollar apiece:
Plomb pebble 3045 DOE 15/16 x 1"
SK Wayne 72106 screwdriver
Import China 1-1/8 combo that I'm going to cut up for a special application.
Oh uh, this may really foul up the universe. Hope it won't lead to human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together…mass hysteria!
Is there a "Show us Your Box" thread?

Can’t place it. It was thrown in free.
Nice old fist logo.
but I had a chance to stop by my good friends place (the one who gave me the mini excavator). Stopped to chat but managed to wrangle another free find from him. Now I need to arrange for a lowboy to pick it up. It’s a 1964 Mack DM800 dump truck. Needs a bit of work but it’s an overall survivor. Has a rebuilt engine with roughly 20k miles on it too.
"my good friend" That's the understatement of the year!
My son and I went to a yard sale advertised as "TONS of Tools" which I always take with a grain of salt. They had a table with a decent amount of older hand tools. Nothing that I couldn't live without except for the small sheet metal hammer, the MAC Sabina Ohio Phillips driver, and the Proto 3/8" ratchet. Judging by the other junk having price tags on them (overpriced as well) I figured I would end up putting them back. The nice lady tells me "um $2 for all." Sounds good to me. My 8 year old was interested in two beat up Tonka trucks that were outside and she immediately went into sales mode. "Oh those are old and valuable." I kept my comments to myself and asked how much. She said $30. I said no thank you and she then said $20. I said no thank you and that they were old but not in great condition and he just wants them to play with not collect. She said well I need to make a living and to come back on Saturday when it's the last day and she would do that. I said ok and I walked away. I went outside into a tent they had and there was an older Tonka fire truck that was missing some pieces and needed some TLC but was cool, and a black Tonka pick up truck. I figured I'd see if she would sell all four for $30. She grabs the red truck and says oh this is old and very valuable. I said how much and she began to look on her phone and then said she would want too much. I asked how much and she refused to give me a price again saying she needs to make money. She rolls the black truck to my son and says here you can just have this one for free. Then she says I'll give you the two yellow Tonkas for $30. I said well you just said $20 and now you are giving me a truck for free that I would have paid for. She looked puzzled and I just gave her the $20, took the three trucks and walked away. She sad she was contracted to do the sale for the family but she clearly had no clue what she was doing. Even my 8 year old was asking why she was so dumb.
