Its been quite a week for me! I was able to purchase this pump and then buy one of the rarest non-petro signs around! (posted in non-petro)Probably the nicest Wayne 71 that I've ever seen come thru the pages of ebay! I had some excellent help with this one from my good friend Jonathan Lowry in Georgia and I want to thank him for his assistance in getting it picked up and packaged up to be transported!
Well, this is my first time having anything to post in the BOTW thread even though I look at the pictures each week. I think I did pretty well. The first image is from Friday and the second from Saturday. My mom was a bit shocked with the size of the Atlantic sign... not really sure where I'm going to put it but I just had to have it!
Here are my botw, First is my Wife's Mae West pump, and the rest are mine. Unless she decides she likes something else. I think I have created a monster!!
Great Display case Kevin, and Randy you need to post a better pic of that killer Signal can! Keep them coming everyone!
Anthony that's my first viewing of a BSA can. Is it common/uncommon or rare? What vintage I'd it? Fred
I think they are fairly common, it date's around mid 50's. The collector I bought it from wasn't going to sell any, but I was able to talk her out of the worst one she had. I'm going to drain the oil and pop the dents out. It should look great after that as the paint on the can is in great condition. Thanks Anthony
THANKS for the comments on my Havoline oil bottle rack. It took me about 4 years to find all the Havoline bottles, they just don't come up for sale to often .

I'm having a tough time imagining, the amount of perseverance and diligence (and money) that would be required to round up 24 of those bottles.
Picked up this painted Kendall sign for the collection!! Not the best shape, but still a good sign. And the painted ones dont come up as often, right??
I like it Noah!! Sometimes if their to perfect they look like repops. And a little character makes the price more comfortable. I would love that hanging in my garage. Nice sign!!
Based on American Oil Cans book, mid/late 40's to mid\late 50's it appears.
