Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Showcase and Stories, Petroliana BOTW: BUYS OF THE WEEK: NOV 22ND TO NOV 28TH

I offer this farmer $15 bucks for this GG sign, he says $25 for the pump and the sign. I say I don't really want the pump, it's rusted off it's base, etc. He says "Ok, $15 for the sign, but you have to take the pump too." A deal was struck.


Here is the sign cleaned up and the banks I got from 5 Quart. (Thanks Don)

Here's a General Petroleum 5 gallon can I just received today....an eBay purchase.



I have a gallon can with the same logo....not one you see very often.

Got this Zephyr Pam clock off of eBay from an auction that didn't meet reserve. The seller "gasoildude" Brad Ralston made me a deal and even met me in person halfway between our homes to make the swap (100 miles for each of us). I appreciated that since I have had two clocks get smashed on their way to me over the past few years.



Brad visits Oldgas.com sometimes. Thanks, Brad!

CHEESE'S BUY OF THE WEEK

I never know if the stuff I buy during the week should go on next weeks post or this one, but since I buy most of my stuff on the weekend I'll show you what I got yesterday on this post.

Another "little" Richfield sign for the back of my barn. Now I just need the eagles to go with it.



Drove to the little town of Lockwood, California in Southern Monterey County to pick up the sign along with these goodies too. Wish that oil rack still had the Mobil shield on it.



Got a few older California license plates and the golden poppy sign below also. The little Delco sign came from Creston, California (even smaller than Lockwood). Hoping to get more from this guys collection. He has some really nice cans.

The fence reflected in the last pic looks like it was built in the 80,s..probably fir or cedar...LOL

Cool counter on the grease pumper.

POOR MAN, YOU SHOULD TACK UP YOUR PLATES ON THE VERTICALS ON THE MUSEUM....JUST AN IDEA. NICE SIGNS! WHY DID YOU POST 'EM ON LAST WEEKS BOTW? SILLY BOY! NICE SIGNS BTW!

DOC @ TAG/WEST

Did the POPPY sign just happen to FALL off the 4x4 post ?
LOL

Poppy sign, what poppy sign? I don't see any poppy signs (or road signs or highway signs or anything with "Property of the State of.." on it.

That barn is horizontal old growth California redwood 1x12 with 1x3 Oregon Spruce batts, the fence is Douglas Fir "2 Corral Board on 4x4 pressure treated posts. (That's for Elden and Dodogas)

whos the guy snagging all these tri 5 chevs & the poncho???
Doc who'd you post those pics for? Rudy?
2 nomads & some rag tops?
RIGHT ON!!!
