 Hello, I am new to this forum and to the oil and gas collector world. Does anyone have any info on this cart I picked up out of a barn in northeast Iowa? I think it's an interesting find. Not sure of year or value but I was drawn to it like a moth to a flame. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Thanks guys! I was thinking 30's due to the cast wheels. I'm going between complete restoration or lightly cleaning up. Would new paint take away value?
Thanks,
Tim

Nice set up. Sinclair and probably other companies used a cart like this. Therewould probably be a square five vgallon can in the bigger sections on the bottom and other size cans in the other spots. A lot of collectors would be interested in the signs. The rack with the signs makes for a great display but it does take up a lot more room. Welcome to Old Gas and the hobby. It can get addicting. If you are interested in buying more, try to decide what company or items you are interested in. Buy quality as if you buy smart, you can get your money back if/ when you decide to sell.

Jack, if it isn't too much trouble, I haven't been able to find out much about the cart itself.
Thanks,
Tim
