Well here are by buys of the week. First are the Erie pumps I got with a porcelian Spur sign.



Now the Spur sign.



Here is a cool 1/2 pint Johnson Wax with a soldered seam. It is in perfect condition.

I also got a 3ft x 8ft Tiolene sign. It says HI-PRESSURE GREASING Tiolene Penn Oil SpeedOleum Motor Oil. It was covered in green paint witch was good it has real good gloss.

Now for a few cans & a flange sign I got.

Here is a neet Champlin H-H 2 gal can that was a freebie.



Now here is a Illinois Oil Products & Red Wing Linseed oil 1 gal can.



Then finally a nice NOS Filco Ignition Service sign still had the wax paper on it.



That is all enjoy

Blacktee cooooooooooooooool

Doug

Ran a free local classified and got a call from a guy who had some gas stuff.

Got a cool Valvoline wooden crate that says "2-5 QT cans", a couple of full metal Quaker State cans, a Veedol grease can, a couple of gallon oil cans, and a oil bottle spout mounted on a mason jar.

MAC!...AN OIL BOTTLE SPOUT MOUNTED ON A MASON JAR? SOUNDS LIKE MY BOTW A COUPLE WEEKS AGO!

POSTING NOW FOR CHAD PATE (DCPATE)....

Hey Doc, could you post these 42” signs on BOTW for me? Thanks.

Norman, OK

Hey guys,

Been on vacation back home to Louisiana. That's why you haven't heard a peep out of me in over a week...

I have an interesting BOTW post... It shows the benefits of having family members look for stuff for you! My dad, who collects antiques (esp. cast iron) started looking for petro stuff for me, and here's the result already

Some nice maps - all are NOS no splits at all:


Check out the Lion!


Now the Esso Tiger mugs... This is a full set of Fire King mugs, with the tin tray. The mugs are mint, and the tray is way better than even the one pictured in the Fire King book:



Here's a Standard of California household oiler:

Here's an Esso 16-gal drum that will make a nice trash can:


And finally, a couple of Gulfspray cans, two slight variations:


So remember - always get your family involved in seeking out cool stuff for you

Wes

Doc,

Didn't want the "oil bottle", but he made me take it with the other stuff. Thought I'd keep the spout in case I found a real oil bottle without one.

Man oh man would that Tiolene/speedoleum sign look killer with orange neon wrapped around the perimeter...COOL stuff guys..I will post some tomorrow
