This Pump Island Light still stands where it lit up a pump in front of a country store in the 40's and 50's, I had it bought but the deal fell through, will try again. The 2nd photo is a G&B 1908 Pump I tried to get but no deal yet. The 3rd photo is a late 30's Bennett pump still used at a local farm. The last photo is a fellow collectors place I visit now and then, he has collected for 50 years! ENJOY!

That Goodyear sign hangin on the roof is gonna get destroyed, you need to save it Ed! Or at least tell him he needs to put it inside so it won't get completely demolished by the weather.
I know Signaholic, like the Pan- Am sign but it is kinda cool seein these outside, thats his gas station he built on the back of his house years ago and those signs have been out there many years, I do wish I could grab them all and clean them up. I do have to go see him, havent visited in many months and I'm worried about him as he has some health issues so I need to get off my butt and go see him.
Yes you do!
Thanks sanhardin, glad you love this!
Thanks jbcollector, musikchoo and Manikin!
