Recent finds and buys

Is it gasoline? Who has that much gas just laying around? Or that many gas cans, for that matter? A bit more explanation is needed, I want to know the situation that lead to this.

 

Someone jacked a gas station

 

Picked this up Sunday.

 

All that gasoline from my earlier post....
I don't really know the story, I didn't pry. But some of it is already being put to good use in the fleet!

 

Wild handle, Mark.
The one I bought today is actually a shaver.
A "Stick Schick". Too cool to p*** up.

Also bought a knife & Cragar spinner.

 

A recent re-find. I have had this since my step dad p***ed in 2008.
New. Never worn

 

Got the rest of this:



God, I hope my neighbours weren't paying attention!

It's not so bad as it looks, the drums are only partially full.

 

Still in the crate

 

That is a clean and stylish shift knob

 

Picked up this mirror

 

Was there more than one rocket car or had it been repainted?

 

Sold a bunch of stuff at the swap meet. Didn’t buy much else, but the remains of a Hurst Dual/Gate were cheap, and I'm a Hurst junkie. The cans have been on the same dude's table for at least 3 years running. I always think about them after its over. This year they came home with me. Because I like 'em. The sign is also hand painted, from a rail yard in P***adena MD.

 

Bought this today . We got it pulled out to the Ladies drive . My SIL’s loaded on the trailer and hauled it home for me . I need the 9” for my 47 Mercury

 

If I were closer I'd give you a 9" out of a 57 and I'd take that car and put it back on the road

 

2 decent left ones

and a rough right one

not sure what they fit

 

The 58 was hit in the right front , buckled the fender and rolled the grill in . This happened in 68 there it was left in a pasture. I don’t know why it wasn’t repaired. It was a beautiful car at one time . The floor pans are rusted out . But I would have traded you .

 

Anyone need a small cam

 

Holy cow! Better fly cut those pistons!

 

I found this while cleaning out the 58 Fairlane I drug home . I cleaned it out some before I took it to the storage area .

 

Some stuff from a local estate sale this weekend. The flyswatter with the built-in scoreboard and the tag line "Hit'em a good 'lick'" is my favorite, a solid 50 cent investment.

 

And damn it . . ! There are just way too few solid 50¢ investments around these days.

 

Freshly picked up from the auction today. The Roaders Journal is for size reference. About an eight pound hammerhead with a striking face similar to what they use to drive railway spikes, the other end is chisel like on a 45 degree angle. If I find out the purpose I will put it in my next 4-H quiz. The pipe wrench has a Feb 4, 1913 patent date.
