Welcome!

Here are a few pictures from a sales brochure. This is the Veeter-Root version.

That makes a lot of since given competitive nature and as you said inexpensive price tag for these utility pumps.
Thank you Paul.

these are the bottles

Here are two inside pumps I wouldn't mind finding:

That helps! Thank you very much!

Would anyone know if other nozzles would fit into a roller nozzle handle nozzle ? Tried many including Tokheim and just would not screw in.

OK thanks guys. I'll let him know that. I think Montana prices might be a bit lower ?

Air meter and Texaco Sign pending payment

Can anyone identify if this is a pump handle and to what or not. Measures 18" long. Thanks

Has anybody seen this before, webb can one yellow one more orange in color. Was deciding what to bring for cans to IG but comparing them different colors. Not sure if 2 different manufacturers or what. No fade to either can. May have to keep both.

Happy Canada Day! Eh!

Hello, this was my first porcelain sign which was given to me by my Grandfather. It came from a station in mid town Omaha, the owner was a friend of my Grandpa.
It was originally 2 sides in a frame, one side and the frame are gone, I believe it was mounted on a pole. It was on my Grandpa's farm for years, until I expressed an interest in it some time in the early 90s.
The sign measures 48" x 48" and it is 62" across point to point.
I am curious as to the value, I have not seen another like it. Not looking to sell, just want to let my family know what it is worth.
Thanks Greg

Looks like an old Standard Ethyl pump with the red, white and blue stripes. Very cool. Love those 74s.

I was born in 1979...I have no memories of any of this stuff but hasn’t stopped me from obsessing about it for 27 years. I think we did a poll on here a number of years back about the average age of the collectors and it was much younger than many thought it would be.

Greetings from Nebraska.

Money and perceived value vary by individual. Let it be a sellers market for the wealthy who collect cool things.
Maybe that individual can earn more way more money in the same period it would take them to have one restored. Pay a premium and not have to wait..
Some individuals might pay 'over sticker price' for a hot new car in high demand. Lots of examples of crazy Dealership mark up for the Shelby Mustangs and Hellcat's when they first came out.
Supply and Demand in a free market is a beautiful thing.

To some spending $30,000 to buy a new car is a lot of money. Others maybe $300,000 is a lot of money for their new ride.
One factor to consider is the string of 0's an individual's net worth has in it.
