About this title

About the Author:

B.J. Summers has been a collector all his life. In early childhood he was fascinated with collecting Boy Scout patches and building models. Later as a telephone linesman, collecting telephone insulators and advertising seemed natural. Since 1994 B.J. Summers has been a proven authority on advertising collectibles, gas station memorabilia, and of course, Coca-Cola. And he continues to produce value guides sought after by advanced and beginning collectors alike.

Review:

B. J. Summers and Wayne Priddy's Value Guide To Gas Station Memorabilia appears in its updated second edition to provide the latest values to signs, cans, maps and more from vintage gas station days. Bright medium-sized color photos throughout compliment chapters conveniently organized by memorabilia type - signs, containers, thermometers, even pumps and globes - to make for quick, easy browsing and reference. -Midwest Book Review
