YOUR B.O.T.W. HOST!

I picked up a few things the last two weeks. Some were upgrades, others were new additions to the collection.

First is a credit card clipboard. It provided a hard surface for people to sign the credit slip while they were sitting in their car. Probably from the 50's or 60's;




The next two are 11 inch lubester plates, both are upgrades to ones I already have.







Next is a double sided porcelain credit card sign.

Next are three tin signs;
I think this one came from my grandfathers Sinclair bulk plant.



The Gasoline is an upgrade;



Also got a motor oil. I like to have the tin signs in frames so they do not get bent up or scratched.

Couple more; A tin flange sign, this sign was also made with green letters;



A 48 inch single sided porcelain sign the guy started to touch up;



A fertilizer sign. I never saw another one of these.

Last ones, a fertilizer bag to go with the sign;



A display for the RD-119 gasoline additive;

Wow Wes, what finds.

Phil

Wes, you must have the biggest Sinclair collection in the world!!!!

WOW! THAT'S A VERY IMPRESSIVE WEEKS WORTH! LOL!

I have not bought much lately but I did pick up a really nice 5' Mobil sign this week. Day-one gloss and just a couple very small chips and minor edge and mounting hole chips. It also has the porcelain hanger but I removed it.



I also found a neat Hunter Alignment sign.

Been looking for this for a while, porcelain about 9" diameter. Got it at the Ohio January 1 auction.

Here is one I finally got picked up a Bennett 76 with no rust through. It also has the original bezels. One got broke but could be fixed easily but have a repo one in case I want to use it. No I did not pick out the paint scheme either LOL :rolleyes:



Also this porcelain cateye reflective stop sign. In the process of getting the red paint off of it.

Very nice indeed Brad, just bring the pump to me and I can decide what color to paint it.

Phil

You got it Phil its on the way LOL

Here is my first gas pump purchase.(Sorry for the large pics. Everytime I tried to resize them my computer would kick me out of the program.) It is a Southwest model made in 4/74. My parents ran a Gulf station back in the early 1970s and this is the kind of pump they used. Thanks again Phil!!

p.s. - If anyone has a nozzle for this pump please email me.

Brian

Brian I have a nozzel or two that should fit the pump. Email me bradleywralston@hotmail.com
