    i too would love to get ahold of these kind of things, i have alot collected up and on the walls of my shop, but man, alot of this stuff is expensive. my wife and i like going to big antique shows were theres about 400 or more venders, we find alot of cool stuff from the 40's and 50's for the shop, but we usually end up only coming home with a few things, even after talking the sellers down a bunch there still pretty expensive. we also spend alot of time going to the local antique/junk stores and we have found alot of old oil cans, clocks, and signs, but still pretty spendy at times. good luck and let me know if you find any jackpots!!
