Time to polish up the bottles! I could advertise them as a Special Bottling done for Wilshire Oil....

Wilshire's tribute to the "PARROT"... Bottled for an extremely short period of time... These bottles included the "extremely rare" tall green bottle... And their "famous" Colored graphic bottles:





I could also "Make up", I mean note the "Special Tribute Bottle" that Wilshire had made; honoring the California Brown Pelican:




Since I have,9 different "Bird" bottles,( and if I can get $50,000 a bottle, because they are so rare) I will be rich!!!!!!!!!

(I have a "Black Cow" bottle, I wonder if anyone is gullible enough to believe that Wilshire and Polly Gas did a "Special Tribute Bottling" to honor California's Dairy Enterprises)

Why would someone LIE about a Plaster Parrot made in Japan?

Didn't you see the piece of paper with "Route 66 - Mojave - Polly Gas" written on it? That proves it's a real, genuine piece.

According to some ebay sellers, every parrot item has to Polly as every lion item has to be Gilmore. Maybe seller will list a plaster lion and an aged piece of paper with "Route 66 - Gilmore gas" hand written on it.


Sell me your Gilmore Oil Co. stuff...

I see that "the Bird didn't fly"...

The Parrot (with the "handwritten note") has been re-listed... And, with a price reduction.

It has fallen from $49.95 to $9.99...

I guess Wilshire and Polly Gas items are "losing steam" in the Marketplace?...

Man, that sucks! There goes another; "Get Rich Scheme", down the drain....
