IF I had the room, I'd rather have 5 of those small ones than 2-3 30/35gal common ones.
In 5yrs or less you'll think back & remember when you could have bought them for less than $150 & you Passed!

IF you think it'll clean up & your a SINCLAIR collector, Make Them an OFFER your comfortable with.
If you don't ask, you won't get a lower price.

I purchased the same lubster at carlisle 2yrs ago for $100. Mine had the same exact patina and fading. I bought it because of the size. I think it's a good size for my office.I have since disassembled it and bgan to restore it.

Doesn't sound like too bad of a deal! A lot of people will buy those small ones for a display item! Good job on the bundle!

The smaller lubesters I find to be of greater value especially for people who want to display them in homes or offices. I bought mine in a Lot with signs and pumps, If I didn't have one I would pay $125 with no hesitation. On the dipstick mine goes to 15 gals, lid not embossed.

I have the exact little one but painted red and with a Standard Oil tag on it - got it for free out of a guys barn who just wanted rid of it. I had never seen them that small before until this post.
