Made it over on a freezing cold day to the new home for Metro Petro 15 Vintage Advertising Collector Show at the  Pompton Lakes Elks Lodge in Pompton Lakes, NJ.  Great place more inside vendor and plenty to find outside too. You can find just about anything  from Antique advertising signs and tins of all types; old gasoline station items; Automobilia; vintage motorcycle stuff; license plates; memorabilia from country stores, diners, soda fountains, drive-ins, amusement parks, barber shops, taverns, dairies, etc.; old toys; movie posters; garage art; rec room decor; coin-operated vending machines and arcade games; ephemera; breweriana; roadside America; and tons of fun stuff and cool collectibles!

The show was founded as “Metro Petro” in 1998. The first show was in the auction barn at the Old Feed Mill Auction in Boonton in 1999.  Thanks to Jack Wootton and family for providing the venue for launching this much-anticipated show. Metro Petro inaugural effort featured gasoline and oil company collectibles and Automobilia. Many of the original vendors are still attending the show year after year that was held in Wayne, NJ for the past 12 yrs.

Thanks again to Ed and his family for a great show and traveling back in time. NJoy the pics ….Big Al
