I picked up this antique Franklin Super Single Stage air compressor made by Franklin Air Compressor Works Norristown Pa. the only info I could find about them was from a trade Journal that says they were from the 1900s Probably from the teens through1920s … it works and is 45" tall and 16" across the tank.. its heavy and took 3 people to get it on my truck.. I can't find another one like it anywhere on the internet.. I also picked up this nice heavy Porcelain sign its 15" X 11"

I recently received this 1970 Brady Bunch lunch box and thermos to add to my collection. I also had my VW bus buddy make these letters for me. He has all the big expensive machines in his shop to get the job done.

I needed these letters for my Firestone Fleetwood roadster and I also had a few extra letters made for a couple Cabe friends. These letters are stainless steel and are the same size, thickness and font as the originals.

My apologies. Since My in box is blowing up, I should have mentioned. I only made a small run of specific letters for myself and two Cabe friends. I did not have the entire alphabet made nor did I intend on offering these up for sale.

Some very cool items came my way this week. A huge thanks to Jim @TRM for selling me his Halloween "Broom." I added the witch fender/radiator cap ornament; also a set of bones to the bars instead of fuzzy dice. Yesterday I started working on the window display at my shop using Jim's creation; I still have a heap more work to do.
Also via Ebay (mostly from CABE'rs which I don't understand as there are no selling fees here) two killer forks, a set of the fabled Huffman deep gothic fenders, bars, and a Murray light. Kirk @kirk thomas also helped out with logistics on a New York bike, thanks friend!
