Hello all!
My name is Joni and i am mostly after Gulf and shell items wich are quite common here in Europe. I am planning of building replica of small two pump gulfstation on my yard. What do you think? I have two restored 50s "clockface" junghans pumps painted in gulf theme. Can some one help me to contact mostly European vendors or other collectors who can help me with my needs. So far i am looking for a porcelaing Gulf letters on the wall or on the roof .Any ideas? Thank you!

Joni, you have made the first right choice by posting on this website. There are a few European guys on here that may steer you toward other collectors in your part of the woods. Are you a subscriber to "Petroleum Collectibles Magazine" or "Check the Oil". If not, I highly recommend these two mags. They both contain a wealth of info and have pages of classifieds. Don't get discouraged if your post is not answered immediately. Good luck on your Gulf building and welcome to this crazy hobby.

Hi Joni, I don't know exactly what you need exept the Gulf letters, but I'll send you an email with some hints. Also, check the link pages here at Oldgas. It's cheaper to buy from the US companies directly,. I have personally used Webers and Vic's, but I am sure the others are very good to deal with also. Check out these Swedish links for pictures of old and sometimes still present gas stations: http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Downs/3340/index.html , http://www.hatoil.com/ best regards, Claes Sweden

Welcome!
Check out the March ads on the 'Petroleum Collectibles Monthly' Website. There is someone selling a NOS Gulf lighted sign, along with some 18" porcelain GULF letters. Only a phone number listed - but worth a shot.
Later . . .
Jim
