Id love to know how much you are asking for one of the red semis with the non painted open trailers.

broey · 08-13-2012, 04:36 PM

and also if a 1 or 2 year old can sit on one of the trailers of the other semis you have while he scoots along?

Those original coolers go for stupid money here in the UK as they are very "Scene" amongst the VW guys.

Heres a teaser of my garage and some of the assorted old tat I seem to accumulate. Picked up a couple of more items whilst I was over in France this month, a "Piles Wonder" enamel sign as it made me laugh (Pile is french for battery and this was a big brand over there) and old I guess 1950's enamel road sign for loose chippings and some more vintage oil cans.

Next time Im in Maryland Im stopping by one of special-K's garage sales =)

dieseldawg142 · 12-21-2012, 05:30 AM

how about a dynamic welder co. model 75D, far as i can make out it's a early to mid 50;s, works great, & a 1951 power pak fire ext. in front of it. a day of infamy newspaper, & a ww2 german luftwaffe officer's dress dagger

Lippyp · 12-22-2012, 06:01 PM

A few more pictures of some bits and pieces in my garage

Couple of old French Michelin tyre pressure charts, the left hand one is plastic and from the early 80's, the right hand is tin and dated 1965

The white sign with the red writing came from a WWII military fuel store.

Assorted old enamel signs

This one is double sided

I need to get out into the garage and snap some pictures, I have a load of vintage oil cans with the oldest a 1930 Mobiloil Gargoyle can, a 1930's Marchal fog light, 1930's warning triangle, and other bits and bobs.

This is something I keep toying with rescuing, its a 1960's Henon brand caravan (travel trailer) its at my parents holiday home inFrance and is derelict but largely complete.

72BlckButy · 12-23-2012, 05:15 PM

Love that travel trailer!

Heres a few more pictures of the caravan, outside and in. Biggest problem is that the towbar has been cut off flush with the front so it'll need at least a replacement welding on if not a new chassis.

I think the wheels may be Citroen wheels. These were made from just after WWII to the 1970's transitioning from aluminium to fibreglass at some point. This is a galss one so probably 1960's, they also made different sizes.

Lippyp · 01-23-2013, 02:43 PM

Some new stuff gone up in the garage over the last couple of months, some I've had for a while and finally unpacked after the move, some I acquired last year. I have a date booked with an electrician friend of mine to come and help me get the place wired up in a couple of weeks time for beer and curry, and the paid electrician will be connecting the house end of the underground cable next week so I will shortly have lights and power.

1930's Essolene Petrol enamel sign

French "Pile Wonder" (battery company) enamel sign, my Texaco clock I got for christmas (modern repro) and my old shell anti-freeze testing station

old oil cans

oldest is probably this one, I reckon 1930's.

oil jugs and tins

Vintage warning triangle, old Bib brand (made by Michelin) oil can and my grandads old spray gun complete with kilner jar on the bottom, I have the electric air pump for this and its dated 1947!

repro esso oil drop girl enamel sign I got for christmas.

French roadsign

Old bosch sparkplug display stand the red sign came from a WWII fuel depot,

old enamel roadworks "loose chippings" sign proably 1950's looking at the car!

Rather beautiful repro Lucas Lights enamel sign my wife bought me for christmas

Outside shot today in the snow

72BlckButy · 01-23-2013, 02:45 PM

Love the shop Phil!

**LEEVON** · 01-23-2013, 04:52 PM

This is the only "neat old stuff" picture I have handy. It was given to me at age 3 or so, back when they were still heavy cast iron and pretty much indestructible. You could make man legs peddling this thing up the sidewalk. When I was 5 we moved across the street, and I loaded my wagon all day until the job was done. When I was maybe 12 I took it apart and bundled everything together in a box so that I could restore it for my son, if I ever had one. Well, I didn't get around to restoring it but I did have a son and my Dad drug it out. He had a great time fixing it up, I think it brought alot of good memories back to him. He gave it to my son for his 3rd birthday. Dad said he was starting a new trend among tractor restorers - John Deer Yellow ghost flames

I don't get too attached to "things" but you would have to fight me for this!

72BlckButy · 01-25-2013, 02:01 PM

Love it LEEVON... I've got one at the farm that will be given to our son as well. That thing turned out great!!!!

Did you have to buy new tires or are those the originals? I can't remember how well the tires are on the one I have at the farm.
