Many sights and sounds have disappeared from our landscape during the last 50 years. The 'ding ding' of the drive bell at the local service station is one of the sounds that is missed. But over the years, collectors have consistently grabbed all the other station trappings such as light-up gas globes, signs, advertising premiums, oil cans, display racks, and of course, the gas pumps themselves. This demand has kept market values, and the ever-increasing search for knowledge, on an upward climb. B.J. Summers and Wayne Priddy have again teamed up to deliver a guide for gas station collectibles. This book is designed to be both fast and easy for the beginner and advanced collector alike. Summers's and Priddy's first gas station value guide has proven itself to be a pace-setting standard in this rapidly expanding field. This eye-catching hardback edition with over 1,000 full-color photos of signs, pumps, cans, premiums, and thermometers related to the gas station field and bits of information strategically located throughout will make the reader a more informed collector. 329 pages 2nd edition published 2006 Hardcover
