At risk of duplicating myself (there's a group photo elsewhere on the forum) here are closer photos of a few rather fatigued Crescent garage bits I've picked up recently, some of which are now (just) held together with superglue.
Firstly, the A75 Shell Pump The A77 Power Pump A couple more A76 BP Pumps, one of which seems to be in a different shade of blue A pay counter, this is found in quite a few sets and so far I see it more often in green And finally, a sign with the labels long gone. This can be found in all sorts of different Crescent sets, carrying labels ranging from 'GARAGE' and 'FILL UP' to 'BEWARE OF THE DOG'

Very chuffed to get my first streamlined saloon car in a lot of lead toys even if it is a little out of shape. I was so excited I didn't even notice the petrol pump until after I'd paid

I like it Ewan, not seen one before.

I have a couple of examples of this one Miller. One I think is complete (not sure if original or added) has a driver, and guy laying on the roof with a rifle and another cowboy sitting on the back top of the coach. I love the way the little coach doors open up on some whereas others are solid cast doors like yours. When I got this lot it came with what looks like Wild Bill Hickock on a horse and some other stuff but not sure who made those.

Here is my example of the Crescent pre-war saloon car: I wonder if it is meant to have a spare wheel at the rear, hence the hole in the casting?

Snap!
