I seem to remember seeing a couple of months ago a link to a new shop in the Baltimore area that was dedicated to petroliana. Can't seem to find that link anymore. Ring a bell with anyone?
Thanks,
Lee

The Bennett "lighthouse" type has a few different model numbers. Can the panels be interchanged? I have 543 in need of a panel and thought other models of the same design would fit.

I am starting restoration of a Tokheim 300 and have a couple of questions. My pump does not have a reset crank handle and has a reset lever on nozzle side instead. On center of the panel and level with the top of the nozzle rest pocket is a hole with a knurled rod about 1/4" in diameter sticking out. It appears to activate a switch, is this a light switch or pump ON switch? Also is there suppose to be a knob of some sort on this? On the other side panel there is a steel tubing hanging inside that has a blank cap looking fitting on the outside of the panel.Is this a vent tube? The inside of the doors had paper decal sheets which appeared to be instruction sheets for glass and hose replacements. Are these available repro.? Any help would be appreciated ? THANKS

A buddy of mine came across this Kaiser Frazer neon sign. It is 6ft X 4ft in size. There is no neon left on it & it is in good shape. His question was what it would be worth. The guy was asking $1500 for it I think. Sorry this is the only pic I have of it.

Here is my Ljungmans pump which i finished a week ago and it is a Swedish pump model and widely used in Denmark in the fifties, This one I bought from a taxi company in my town! It has always been inside in a good, dry and warm garage and it was in really good condition. All rubber moldings are original and they are really fresh! The pump is from 1955 and it was a Gulf pump from the start

It seems more and more questions center around what something is worth. Around here, I have heard several sayings you might find interesting on that subject. First, in response to a question on something already bought, " It's worth what you paid for it "Basically saying you wanted it, so you bought it. Good decision, bad decision , you made it so live with it. Second, " I didn't say what it is worth. I said what it is worth to me " Basically saying that someone that already has 300 or so signs would probably pay less than someone who is building a collection. Third, It's worth what it's to me keep in my display or collection " Fourth, " I'm tired of looking at it, so I'll dump it. Move it though. Perhaps these comments from experienced collectors will help newcomers who are trying to understand the spread of estimated values given. Bottom line, with all things considered it's worth what someone will pay for it.
