I was really excited to get this Texaco lubrication chart since I already had the Havoline version. Both are made out of heavy cardboard and have lubrication recommendations for passenger cars on one side and trucks/taxicabs on the other side. The Havoline one is date 1934 and the Texaco 1933.

I have looking for a Eco tire meter for some time.
I was fortunate and just purchased this Eco Tireflater this weekend.
It has been sitting in the gentleman's house, from whom I purchased it for 15 years.

Now, do I take it apart or just enjoy it as is?
Cheers!

Leave it alone...Just my opinion.

Leave it, just turn the base around the right way.

Thanks guys, I agree.
This until has the original chrome, glass, handle, etc. The numbers roll nicely and it lights up. The chrome isn't perfect but it is just bad enough to let you know it's original.
I did notice the base was backwards and I will rotate that, otherwise i'll just enjoy it.
Thanks guys,
Mickm

I had a great week and this is one of the better signs that I was able to buy! Looks like it has never been hung from looking at the back! I've been wanting one for some time and was really happy to stumble across this one in an antique store! Reasonably priced too! I got lucky, I guess!

picked up this Trico Cart ive been waiting to get too in a guys garage .. no old stock in but it should clean up nice.
Amazingly enough theres another 1 in town that i was waiting on as well .. but the owner is never around.


Happened upon a store with some stuff in the window in town thats NEVER open .. come to find out its a lady "house" for her "hobby"

took me thru a few buildings looking for oil cans but none found ... on my way out i saw a couple maps ... 3 turned into 41 some never opened and a saweet mailer .. walked out 15 bucks lighter in my pocket as she said "happy to help your hobby"
