When in Peotone for the show, it is a rule that we go to the Peotone Bier Stube and eat way to much. After about a dozen visits, I finally finished one of their schnitzels this trip! We also used to go to the one Irish Pub down the road. The show used to be closer to St Patricks Day and we would stop in for a cold one before dinner. We didnt do that in a few years, my brother must be getting old... While there, be on the lookout for the "Drunken Red Headed Irish Women" A couple more pumps at the show One of the local antique shops has a HC sign up front on display, NFS of course Another pump I drug home, a Wayne 60

A couple cans. PD was Sinclairs bug spray. This can also was still with a wood shipping box The Productos label would indicate the cans in this box was for the market South of the border. I have never seen a Productos can, would like to see pictures of one if anyone has any?

Sinclair had several different credit card signs, this is one of the newer ones An old wood sign. They spelled Sinclair wrong An HC sign and the test Tripple Check With and without the black drop shade on the letters These were both made with green or red letters Another older credit card sign. The little strip sign below it doesnt show up very often

The Bar logo Four foot Tripple check. This is the very sign that is shown on page 124 of the Sinclair collectables book by Benjamin and Henderson. Jackie had it hanging on the wall over the stairwell to his basement. Dad bought the sign, I got to climb the ladder up over the steps to get it down. A couple different signs that were used on tire racks.

Another little porcelain strip sign, believed to have been used on the back bumper of a delivery truck A station display for the anti rust RD-119. They had a couple different displays like this. One tube had a rusty metal bar in the glass tube to show how things can rust. The second tube have a rust free metal bar because it was in the RD-119 A tin tacker for Opaline motor oil Men and Ladies rest room signs and globes Sanitized rest room sign version one and version two

Wow Wes I see you were quite busy today. What an amazing collection you have in your family. There were quite a few pieces I hadn't even seen till you posted. I have seen pictures of the Mexico Productos Chicken sign but never seen one in a collection, I think its a awesome sign. The oil can cart is super nice also and growing up farming I really like the dino farm sign which I hadn't seen. Thanks a lot for taking the time to post pictures and show some signs I myself and others may never get to see. Your contribution to COTM is well appreciated.

Wes, you and your family have one of the largest Sinclair collections I've ever seen. It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! A lot of hard work has gone into that. I'm impressed.

Thanks to everyone who has posted, some awesome Sinclair items have been shown so far!
Seeing as "Dino" was the first word out of my mouth as a small child (no lie on that one, and I doubt that my mom has forgiven my dad for it yet) I've been fascinated with Sinclair stuff. My collection is not nearly as broad as the Maxwell family's, but has been focused on round Sinclair quarts so I thought I'd share a couple photos of them.
Over twenty years of searching has brought my collection to 76 different Sinclair quarts and there are at least few more on the want list!
Thanks
Aaron Hop
Wanted: Ripple Body Globes, picture globe, any Dixie Distributors keyhole gas pump globe and ANYTHING from Old Dutch Refining, Muskegon, MI Musgo sign

A 30 inch bar logo Oils. There were several different sizes of both the Oils and Gasoline signs with the bar logo A wall of different well and warning signs, different color borders, different logos A transition sign. Single sided tin. The guy is taking down the Sinclair sign to put up the new ARCO sign as shown by his uniform patch. Hard sign to finf in good condition Another credit card sign with bracket and topper. The sign is DSP. There is another similar sign that the S doesn't drop down into the white. You can see the left side of that sign in the background
