Just wanted to tease all you pickers out there with these photos I took when wife and I went for a drive 2 weeks ago. Rumor has it no one has been able to buy these pumps though many have tried. The barn picture is just a tease because you wouldnt believe whats in the barn or around it or in the other buildings on this property, 50 years of collecting, I think I had heart palpatations when I saw this place, I cant show you the rest of the pictures, it would give away location and they don't want that, had nice visit here with the guys, but they said no pickers allowed! SORRY, my wife made me promise to drop the barn picture, she heard them say dont post pictures! The sign is one of many in the guys hangout.
Gas PumpsThe first gas pumps were built in the 1880's by the Bowser Company in Fort …

Thanks MMM, yeh, I was at the barn yesterday and its still there.lol
I bet your dreaming of picking that place someday. Since you can't reveal the location, how about telling us about some of the items. Can't see them, but we can also dream......
MMM, yes I would love to pick through everything but for now Ill take what I can get, new friends and good times! someday I hope to post all the pictures, you'd love it.

That old Colonial Gas is worth the price of admission! Look at that thing buried in the dirt, I love it!
Thanks Signaholic, it almost makes me sick to see a sign like that rusting away on the ground but at the same time its an great picture! This collector has a lot of that rusty gold! as rusty as that colonial sign is I would love to own it!
I found a place like that here in michigan,stopped because I seen his big pole sign he had a couple rusty pieces of signs hanging on the barn. Asked if he would sell anything,he said my wife wont let me but I.ll show you around he took me into his barn he had hundreds of porcelain sigms three or four mobil horses,oldsmobile,studebaker, every sign you could ever want and most were for neon for neon
Thanks pickr4life, I've been back to this place a couple times but no luck buying anything, but I'll try again.
Never hurts to ask, thats what the the guy told me, he said drive back roads see junk stop and ask if anythings for sell! He actually pointed me in the direction of a guy who told him he had a sign in the woods he could have, he never made time to go look. I did, it was two pieces ,first piece read sin second piece cla , it was missing ir for Sinclair huge porcelain set up for neon should have been 20 + feet long total. He gave it to me!
Cool, pickr4life, good pickin!
