Another day at the Junk Lot

Postby khardy on Sat May 18, 2013 3:40 pm


Hiya Folks,

Spent another exciting morning in the junk lot. A couple of photos...

There is an old CH light under all this...

After a little wheeling and dealing, this is what we brought to the house...

Two of the lights (one horizontal w/ box & one light) and the post still belong to the junk lot guy. Going to restore for him for trade on the other lights plus the big porcelain Rexall sign he has.

Will be gearing up for tearing apart soon.

Cheers!

Great pieces. You never know what you could come across at an ordinary junkyard.

Hiya Folks,

After cooling off, 90+ degrees today, I opened the doors on the lights. Three are type "D" and two are type "DT." There is a mixture of lenses on the lights but there is one each of the R Y G large bead smileys. Those are going in one of the lights we keep. :grin:

Looking at some of the Eagles and other lights in the junk lot, I did notice smiley lenses in some of them. While working out a deal with the owner, I told him I will be back next week to retrieve some of those to complete these lights. He has several more posts, but none like the one he wants a light mounted on. May grab one or two of those since they have the four inch pipe for hanging these side mount lights.

Will see what this next week has in store for us.

Cheers!
