Dandy Dave Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 (edited) Wonder how many yards of gravel this Dragline bucket scooped up for the local roads we drive on every day? Could not help myself. Had to have it. The price was really right. 😁 Edited April 10 by Dandy Dave (see edit history) 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Walling Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Danny, looking at the side view of the drag line bucket, I can see the front of a mini car, just add a seat and a few wheels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Shaw Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Nice scores Dave. That bucket would make a great pizza oven or fire pit. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In todays parlance you might even say that it's part of the patina of the pump. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen a clock face gas pump before. I like it. You always post some neat finds! I have not seen one in the wild in a very long time. I use to see some when I was younger and always told a friend that collected them where they were and he would buy them and restore them. I see restored ones for big $$$. 🤪 🙃 Looking a little deeper around the internet I see one Tokheim 850 brought $11,000 and another at Barret Jackson bring $24,000. Wonder how drunk the bidders were that day? 😜 Edited April 11 by Dandy Dave (see edit history) 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
