I have some kind of a 3-tank petroleum dispenser. I'm guessing tanks like this were used at service stations in the 50's, or 60's, but I'm not sure. It's been in our barn since I was a kid in the late 60's. Any idea what this is called?

An oil tank/ dispenser, commonly referred to as a lubester. Not as common as the single tank ones or the doubles. Plus it is on wheels and looks pretty much complete. The branded lids add to the value.

To the right collector, you can get $400 to $600 realistically. To someone that really wants it bad--you can get whatever he is willing to pay. It all comes down to the sale, the agreed upon price is the value that day.

As Kevin said the lids are the best part. They are 80-100 each to the right person. Triple lubster is very big and takes up a lot of room.

I sold a similar condition generic version this year that didn't have branded lids for $550. If you've got the time it's worth the resto as they bring decent money redone.
