Found these at an auction on Saturday. It's another case of me being at the right place at the right time. My daughter had a basketball function at 10AM, the auction started at 11Am 30 minutes away. After her grand performance I might add and a quick lunch we set out. I kept telling my self we are to late, they are already sold or there is going to be a ton of people running the price through the roof. I get there and ask the ladies at the registration table if they have sold and they said no. At that exact moment another guy came in and I asked him and his reply was I heard them talking about something to do with signs. So me and my 2 kids walked at a very fast rate to the back of the property and walked right into the starting bid on the poles, 20 now 35 now 50 now 60 sold!!!!! I couldn't believe it !!! 60 bucks for the pole and I got 3 total. I later had one removed because it was rusted bad:( but I got 2 poles for 120 bucks. I know people that pay 500.00 bucks for one pole!!! The man had passed away and they had 3 auctions to liquidate his estate. None of the other auctioneers knew of the poles cause they were in the woods beside his house. The last auctioneer found them and drug them out, lucky me!! I had been 2 houses down the previous year and I found out it was his brothers house. That’s where I found my hard to find gulf sign frame! The big round circle in pic 2!! So it was meant to be:) I bet they are up in heaven smiling down on me. The smaller half moon sign frame is the lollipop for the Gulf lighted double sided sign, the hunt continues for one of those:) Happy Hunting!!!!!
