Lets see your collections / decorations

[NHBandit]

All of my stuff is stored away at the moment patiently waiting my new garage. Packed it all up when we moved from NH and the new garage is getting built next month. I collect alot of different things including the usual gas & oil signs, etc. but here's 2 I haven't seen mentioned so far. Old timers will appreciate the first. Vintage slot cars from the 60s. The big one in 1/32 & 1/24 scale. Planning a good size 4 lane setup in one corner of the new garage using 60s vintage Revell track I've been hoarding for many years.

My second contribution is railroad lanterns. The old style that usually have the railroad marked on the metal shade as well as sometimes etched into the glass globe.

I have a few collections displayed in my garage


and my 1926 Texaco gas station holds a small collection

Don -

You have a really sharp setup and the restored Texaco station is amazing ! I want to find and restore a visible gas pump like the two you have outside the Texaco station. Super interesting collectibles you have a I really like the display arrangement !

The older, unrestored antique cars add to the sense of the "old times". Well done.

If you ever want to sell your Sinclair Opaline Motor Oil porcelain sign let me know - I would be interested.

Thanks for posting !

Does that THX license plate have anything to do with the george lucas movie?

 

[The Boss]

Some swap meet finds, and a few friends who own bars.

I have a *** Pistols poster stapled to the wall and a '73 Torino wheel cover... The one with the green color-keyed insert.

Sinclair Oil Corp, my dream garage.

I was even going to do my bus in Sinclair colours etc.... I had permission from their legal department to use logos as long as it was not for commercial gain.




I collect mainly number plates from around the world, and have traded plates pretty much around the world.

My alltime favourite is a Arkansas Purple Heart plate, kindly given to me by a two time PH recipient on here.

Then I also have others like a Japanese plate, German oval tourist plate and some others including a printed bear plate from Canada's Northern territories.

Still waiting for that elusive bear shaped plate, which might just be my best one ever.

Got some helicopter parts hanging around.

Very nice but I like the big red decoration in the middle of the floor best.

Here is my collection. I really like Sprint Car racing on dirt. Go to Knoxville every August to the National Championship race.

Does that THX license plate have anything to do with the george lucas movie?

American Graffiti was directed by George Lucas, who also directed THX 1138. The THX 138 plate was Milner's plate in A.G., the yellow deuce coupe.

My brother and I have been collecting valve covers for the past 20+ years. They get blasted and painted the correct color of paint and decals applied if available.
We try to get ones that are embossed with something that identifies the motor/car or just are cool.

I'm slowing amassing a few but that is awesome.

 

[don long]

all these garages on this thread are amazing. I was going post my wall art medal signs (which most are reproductions) but the level shown on here is too high!!!

This is an absolutely STUNNING collection, STUNNING! I am in awe!

OK - well, you did ask for it......signs, oil cans, pumps and globes. For more pics go to the link on my sig line. Hope that you enjoy the garage decoration.

 

[Sunbimmer]

I guess if you have that kind of money, (I mean look at the cars parked in there) you can buy anything you like.
Could be I'm just a little bit jealous
Don't get me wrong I absolutely love this collection too, indeed stunning
