This sign looks like it's in better shape than the one that sold last week!

All I can say is.... wow.

Hey Mike,
I see that you are as excited about neon as I am. If only I had let that DC LP in Texas. Now I have to get a wide front from Don L and there goes that sign (my wife won't see this, hope). Do you think its worth 5 beef cows? Don

I bid it to $1800.00 from $700. Never even got to be high bidder.....Grrrrr. I would rather have one that all kina bet up, it would match the my surroundings much better.

Mike & CASEPOWER My Dad was a CASE dealer for 35 years, '29 - '64. He was so cheap, I mean really cheap, he never bought any of the CASE advertising. 60 years ago a dealer could buy the tallest Eagle on the Globe for $35.00. Many of the signs and advertising were free. I was never his favorite, he didn't like black sheep, but I sure wouldn't mind having some of those things today. John

Hi John,

Yes- hindsight is always 20-20. It would be really great to have had some of those "cheap" signs.

My only thought about your Dad is that anyone who was trying to run a successful business during the Depression years would HAVE to be cheap to make it.

(In my limited experience) folks that lived through that period of time never really got out of that mindset- with their wealth being judged by how full the cupboards were rather than what's in the bank...

Regards, -Schotte

Mike, your killing me!! Please let me barrow some money. I wish I could have at the least bid on it. Now it's so high I am afraid I would win it and cause a bitter divorse in the CASEPOWER home..

Jonathan-

I hate to break it to you, old buddy- but if I *had* the money to lend you for the sign... then it would be in MY home!

Unfortunately, I don't have it. Maybe at tax refund time?

I think you should loan money to ME- since I don't have to worry about the possibility of a bitter divorce (and I can clean tractor parts in the house any time I want to!)

Talk to you later,

-Schotte

I vividly remember a post about a indoor bathtub parts washer. I thought about the dish washer but value my life much more. I would fight any man before I would my wife. I would stand a much better chance of winning.

Used dish washer for $25.00, would it work to wash parts? What do you think?
