Just For Fun Restorations

This client’s dad had stored this 1924 Southwest-OK-7 Visible gas pump on his side yard for years. He always wanted to restore it but never got to it. However his son made the decision to complete his dads retirement dream and have the pump fully restored. Here is this big A’s journey

This little kid bank held a special memory for this customer. He wanted all the nostalgia he remembered brought back to life…and that is exactly what we did!!!!

This customer came to us just a few weeks after his father passed. He brought with him this Expresso Machine. The raw sadness we witnessed the day he dropped off the machine was palatable. This machine had made its way here from Italy following the death of his grandfather. His father always wanted to have it restored but sadly never got to it. We were blessed to share the joy when we gave him the final reveal…priceless

This customer came to us with a plane that was a retirement gift from
American Airlines to his late grandfather. He remembers going to his grandparents house and running inside to look at the plane. He was not allowed to touch but to only admire. 50 years later he asks his mother if she ever knew who got his grandfathers plane? Last year she found it in a box of things in her garage. She gave him the plane but it had been damaged through the many moves. He brought it to us and we were able to bring back the wonderful memories he had experienced at his grandparents home.

Plated. Available $1800

A customer came to us and shared her story regarding this Coke
Machine. As a young girl she love to visit her grandfather at his tire store. Every time she arrived her grandfather he would greet her with a dime so she could get herself a coke from the machine. Sadly, her grandfather passed away but not the sweet memories. She was gifted her grandfathers coke machine and asked us to breath life back into it. Here is the journey.
