Tonight. The old guy that had the old Steam engines that was a hell of an artist. That was here in the berg I live in. I knew that he had to be close when he said the trolly car collection machine came out of Salisbury NC.
Damn Antique Archeology was here in the DC....:banana:

They were here in Lex and WS about 2 seasons ago. I recognized a couple of the highway signs and one of the barns.

They were in MN on one episode and a guy had a shit-ton of old signs in the rafters of a barn.
There was a Standard Oil sign that I REALLY want...

I emailed them and they can't give me contact info and they can't buy it and resell it to me. :(

I like the show.

No reason was given. :shrug:

Being in Minnesota...it couldn't have been too far from them. At least compared to some of the road trips they take.
I understand that they couldn't give an address or phone number, but I hoped they could contact the guy and see if he would sell it.

I've found stuff online that I like, but they are too far away/too big to ship. :(
That one, I could probably make the drive to pick it up.

I found an old Amoco sign here in town, but the owner wasn't interested in selling.

They filmed an episode about 10 miles from me last year. The local paper had a write up about it. The guys signed autographs and talked with everyone that showed up to watch the filming.

American Pickers show ... drives-the-point-home to not judge a persons intellect by their physical appearance.

Some really sharp people out there.
