History What vintage stuff do you have?

I know some of you have to have old signs, stuff like that. So let's see it. I love all the old advertising, and old gas pumps and stuff!!!!

I have the old sign off of my dad's service station in Nyack, NY

 

really? no posts? well that ****s.....

 

Two for one shot. I had to mount the Storz beer sign to the fence with special square headed screws because some S.O.B. got into my back
yard and tried to steal it off of my fence at 3:30 in the morning. I was glad that I hadn't cleaned up some old bricks like my wife wanted
me to, because they tripped on them and fell with the sign. It made
such a loud noise, they left it on the ground and took off. I hope that
hurt like hell..

 

not much.

 

that is some pretty cool stuff!!!

 

just about everything i have is vintage ...tools & equipment , cars , even my lawn mower is vintage. i was even told Wednesday when i was looking for an ink cartridge my computer printer was an antique

 

My house was built in 1947, that vintage enough for ya?

 

Stationary engine, 45 Farmall mdlA, me

 

@36-3window - What the heck is a distribuscope? that looks friggen awesome!!!

 

I have every 1949 Chevrolet magazine ad ever printed. (or close to it) over 40 anyways.

I have a bunch of 1949-1954 dealer items like posters and junk they hung in the showroom. got a 18x36 dealer poster of a 52 coupe coming in the mail as we speak.

got a pretty good collection of Wyandotte and Marx toy cars and trucks. mostly pre war. prolly 80 pieces

no interweb at home so I can't post pics. you'll just have to take my word for it.

most of it is all boxed up right now anyways. doing the finishing touches on my new office/museum.. it will all be out and on display pretty soon.

 

someone say clocks?

 

Nice V-7, '71-'72? I have a 1970 Commando V-8, a '68 Raider 9 and a '75 B-100. I use the V-8 for mowing but it has been repainted and I had to re-power it a couple years ago when the original 8HP Te***seh seized, it got an '85 Te***seh 12HP. The 12HP was sitting in a Commando V-7 I bought for parts several years ago in fact.

I use the B-100 for snow removal and moving project vehicles. It looks like it's been through a couple World Wars but is still going strong. The Raider 9 is awaiting a ground up resto with a Te***seh 12HP upgrade from the original 10HP but it's the same year and style engine this time. Even found a set of NOS Wheel Horse wheel covers for it.

 

it's a distributor test machine , like the ones made by Sun ( 500 , 504 , 404 etc)....but made in 1958 by Snap-On

 

it's a 1969 with a 7 hp te***seh , i also have a 1968 lawn Ranger with a 6 hp te***seh that is ready to die. just sold a 1963 model 763

 

Funny how times have changed, now even a entry level push mower has 7 H.P.

 

I don't have any pictures but I have a '54 vintage Cherokee. On a good day she purrrs like a kitten.

 

I have lots....Like my Coca-Cola Signs and clocks/memorabilia (I'm a coke collector) My two gas signs, My 1961 Wheel Horse Mid-Engine Lawn Tractor restored to original.

But man...if my close friend was to post here....he'd take up a whole page. He's got old stuff (signs, old fridges, chairs, implements, etc) He's got it on his garage patio, front porch, inside of garage, dining room living room...and the entire ba*****t is a 50's diner/gameroom. He also has cars...I need to get him to join here!!

 

Mine in 29 . Besides that i have some nice vintage furniture and a collection of suitcases.

It's been shown on here many times, but here's some of the "junk" that I've been collecting for the last 35 years.

I've got a few odds and ends, but this is by far my favorite. It's an authentic Tower 1865 Civil War rifle. It has the original owners initials and regimental markings carved into the stock. We had a local expert research the initials and markings and he came back with 3 possible owners. It's a pretty common rifle, but between the information we have on it, the markings in the stock and the amazing condition it's in, it appraised for a nice chunk of change. I'd never sell it, though. It belonged to my grandfather, who p***ed it to my dad, who p***ed it to me.

Have an original Philco 1940s radio and a 1920s desk got for free off craigslist.

 

One of my most prized vintage items is my STP rack filled with full cans of oil treatment and other STP products, its about 3' high I'm sure yall have seen one like it before

 

Boyce motometer, 1930's Lyon and Healy tenor guitar, great-grandfather's WWI souvenirs, grandfather's WWII souvenirs, and a small bottle (still full/unopened) of Kessler with a WI stamp on it that says .3 1/8th cent on it, a**** other things.

 

I have a ton of old Chrysler Corporation stuff from the 50:s and 60:s, posters, brochures, magazines, drinking gl***es, dealership signs etc. Pretty large set of dining room furniture that was custom made for my grandfather in the 1930:s. Some vintage speed parts. I'd love to have a Kelvinator Foodarama
