I picked this up on my lunch hour today - local estate sale. Label is not great. Bottle is full and well sealed. Any feedback on age and value?
thanks

I think pre-war. $50-75 IMO

I also think it's W.W.II vintage. Of course, there are Pennzoil collectors out there, but not nearly as many as those who collect Texaco, Mobil, Phillips 66, etc. I've found it usually takes a longer time to find a buyer for the more common Pennzoil items. In the Midwest, I believe $45 to $50 would be a good final selling price range for this bottle....and it might take a while to get that. John

But the one I have is SAE 30. That extra viscosity should be worth a few more bucks.....right? :-)
