A movie company based in Chicago is looking to hire any gas station artifacts/ equipment from the late 1920s/ early 1930s. Looking for any collectors in Chicago.

Hi Hayley,

Time Passages, Ltd. of Des Moines, Iowa is experienced in providing props or complete vintage gas station movie sets. They have worked on several movies that I know. They have outfitted Disney World and EuroDisney gas stations and most recently, staged a massive display of pumps, signage and other gas artifacts for the Petroleum Equipment Institute convention in San Diego.

To contact collectors in your area, go to our Collectors Roster and click on your region.
It is not unusual for a serious collector to strive to have everything that would have been in a gas station during a given period. Collectors may be able to help, but also can be unwilling to subject their valuables to the damage that some movie productions have been know to cause.

Hayley, Vic's Place in Guthrie is your source for this particular project. We can provide pumps, island lites, oil can racks, vintage cars from all eras, just about anything you need for a station. We were the sole provider for the movie Twister. We provided the bulk of the items for many major oil company archives all over the United States, and decorated over 100 restaurants in the last year alone. We also stock a large inventory of ORIGINAL items beside gas pumps. Check us out at www.vicsplace.com or call at 1-888-918-7867.
