Default What Is Your Favourite Piece of Memorabilia

I am in the process of starting to collect Auto Memorabilia. What is your favorite piece you have or would like to have. Photos would be fun ! I am wanting to get an old pump with the glass top and pump handle. Here is a photo. I also like Coca Cola stuff as well. So show us your favorite piece ! Stewy

Jeff when I was young in Aussie land I use to be able to buy Royal Crown Cola. I think it was abbreviated at that stage to just RC Cola and I still to this day think it was a better taste than Coke ! I see you have a Royal Crown Cola sign. Cool Stewy

Does steamroller memorabilia count?. The earlier ones were cast iron. I'm still looking for one of those.

I wonder how many copies of the 61 Corvette records were made ! When you think of it it's a strange album ! Great soundtrack but weird stuff. Stewy

The Buffalo Roller Company merged with the Kelly-Springfield (the tire mfg.) company in 1916. Hence the name Buffalo Springfield. I don't know if they were actually manufactured in Springfield, Ohio after the merge or not.
