Got that covered too but had to take out the gumballs, too hot and replaced them with nuts. Can't have much in the way of candy because of the heat.

No longer politically correct, but how about a spittoon.

Here is the space in question,
The calendar I just acquired will hang from on the side of the taller cabinet.

Re: Got an old brain? I need to pick it!!!!
I remember seeing the old gents who chawed back then just step outside and let it go. Being a garage and all, outside was sufficient, I guess.

Your wall phone is too modern. It should have a crank on the side.

Re: Got an old brain? I need to pick it!!!!
That is a Crosley, modern touch tone. It will be replaced with a dial wall phone model 653A but not right away, they cost, especially one that has been reconditioned. The Western Electric on the cabinet is a 202 with an E series handset and it has been reconditioned and....it works on todays lines going out or coming in calls. They were made from 30-37 and with the E series handset, from 30-34. It was toss up between a candle stick dial 1927-1930 or that one, I went with that one but it does have the early rural dial face on it.
BTW, that tire ashtray was a souvenir from Firestone at the 1934 Century of Progress Expo in Chicago. Fantastic find at a great price too.

Re: Got an old brain? I need to pick it!!!!
I remember those calendars and I didn't even have to go to the drugstore to look at Nat Geo either. Could have got one, a 1932 but it was too badly beat up, the calendar, not the gal!!!

Re: Got an old brain? I need to pick it!!!!
All paperwork was hand written. There was a small book of 50 carbon duplicate sales slips for gas, oil, etc., and a base mounted vertical ice pick type of spike to skewer the carbon copies on. For repairs and "big money" items, there was a book of carbon duplicate money receipts. My guess is that 90% of the transactions were cash...........nickel Coke machine - returnable glass bottles wooden case of 24 = $1.
