Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I never had any of the blacklight posters back in the day, but I did have an original of Farrah in the red bathing suit, Cheryl Teigs in the Pink bikini, and Susan Anton from the movie Golden girl. They were lined up om one wall that you could see through the second floor window from the street. That wasn't really the plan, it just worked out that way.
Originals of at least 2 of those would probably be worth something today, but no where near $500. There were millions of them.

![]() Some posters enter four digits. I'm no expert, but those seem to be rare super hero and rock. As "Funky Enterprise" type posters the 23x35 Super Shark is most valuable, apparently. Another 23x35" will come up someday, but I think I'll pass $500+ & declare this little project done. Having a 11x17 isn't the worst thing - it's the only small one I've seen & came cheap. Rare doesn't mean valuable as they say. That Buck cost me $25 second time around, about 12 years ago. Super Shark is rare but the Buck is on another level. It was my favorite and still is. I redecorated the bedrooms so the light hits it right.

I guess I'm a little different: I have a bunch of Charlie Russel prints

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I read somewhere that the Farrah poster was the best selling poster of all time.
I had a velvet Jimi Hendrix. My wife sold it at a tag sale first year we were married. Actually, I think she gave it to the guy that fixed our furnace. I guess it didn't fit the decor. I still have the Sports Illustrated swimsuit editions from the 70's though. |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I finally hung my Mr. Suds sign on the side of my patio. Mr. Suds was kind of a landmark in Bakersfield. They tore it down. It's an Auto Zone now. So much for history.
![]() I was lucky enough to get the sign. It's really big. You can see it from the boulevard. I'm waiting for someone to show up and order a cheeseburger and a root beer float. ![]() ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Well, I went for a hike for the first time in about a month!
I left right after chores while the ground was still (mostly) frozen. Sometimes crunching through hard snow and the rest of the time dodging ice and muddy places.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Fixed up another lantern I picked up last fall at a swap meet, model 200A built July 1967. And then went and shoveled gravel into the pot holes in my driveway...can't wait for the frost to go out and the water to soak in.

Haven't used it in years, but the way things are going I should get it out and see if I can get it to work. Also have a pair of double mantles that someone gave us and that I've never tried to use.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Yeah, 200's are single mantle, 220 & 228's are the most common double mantle models. You should dig them out and get them cleaned up and working again! I've got seven lanterns and a catalytic heater, my favorites are the 1955 202 model and 1946 242C model.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Changing oil & filter in our Generac for the first time. Total of nine hours run time since it was installed about 14 months ago. Time to replace the break-in oil with fresh synthetic 5W-30.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
We had one when I was a teenager in VA. The hurricanes and winter storms would come thru and wreak havoc on the mountains from time to time, 2 weeks without power wasn’t that unheard of. Ours definitely got used, very nice to have when you need it.

I had moved good bit of stuff before I took the picture, you couldn't really walk between the workbench and the mustang before.
