I picked up a Skychief pump plate, 2 Seachief pump plates, and a Pennzip sign. All in good condition, I would post a picture but I can't figure out how. I'll keep trying. I got the signs dirt cheep!
I picked up the sign's, when I got a tip on a Rush Stovepipe, still working on the stovepipe.

Here are some items I've picked up. Left is a can of Atomic Auto Wash. On the right a can of Glidden Silent Seal undercoating.   I found this next item on eBay by chance on a search for something else. Turns out that the thing that looks like a gasoline can is actually a Micromachines toy car set. It opens up to reveal a tiny gas station, mountain roadway and even an elevator that is operated by twisting the cap on the gas can. The cars are just an inch and a quarter long. The car in front of the gas station is a Mercedes 300SL Gull Wing with opening doors, deck and hood. Cool toy for me and my grandson to play with together!

Here's a couple of recent additions. First is a 2 gallon Beaver Penn can from Freedom Oil Works.....  Got this west coast Mobilfuel Diesel pump plate on eBay. It has "Diesel" in black rather than the more common(?) red.  ------------------ Richard Weir "Pegasus" Hillsboro, Ohio

Here's my big buy of the week. Once the tape residue was removed from around the 10 cent decal, this turned out to be one of the nicest original machines I've yet to see. Picture doesn't do it justice.

Not as nice as some of those signs, but I found an interesting book in a box in a barn I was cleaning out. Called "The Service Man's Guide to Automotive Lubrication", Second printing, January 1933, by ChekChart. The scan is from inside the front cover. Lots of interesting diagrams of systems in old cars, and the back of the book is full of old ads. 
Always looking for Texaco Canada, Supertest, White Rose, McColl Frontenac, and Miller Oil Co. info.
