Some call them "rocker" and then some call them "roller" cans.
Whatever you call them, that's this months' collectible of the month.
Lets clean 'em up and snap those pictures...I for one would like to see them.
I don't have any, but I sure like them...I collect enough different gas and oil items and I just can't collect everything wink.
If you can't or don't know how to post pictures just e-mail them to me and when time allows I will post them for you.

So guys and dolls....it's time to ROCK and ROLL!!!!!
cool cool

Hey Paddy, here are a couple Sinclair rocker cans. Some had decals, some were painted. As always, be careful, some cans are being restored, new paint and logo.

I would be proud to own any of these that have been posted so far.....like I said before, I don't own any...maybe a few would be nice.
If you have a can like the ones already posted, It doesn't matter. Post it anyway...no matter what the condition is.

lets see some more!!

some more from our very own souperhigh's collection.

Northwestern....gee my daughter attends Northwestern State Univ.
I like the barb wire border on this can.



Like I said earlier, I would love to have any of the ones posted in this tread.....since I don't own a single one.
Now this early Pan Am stuff from New Orleans really knocks my socks off.





Hey buddy...how can I talk you out of the pan am?
I promise not to post any more pix's like this.



shocked shocked shocked shocked
eek eek eek eek
laugh laugh laugh laugh
blush blush blush blush
grin grin grin grin
wink wink wink wink

Paddy,
You forced me to get a new apron from the tool store.
By the way buddy not only has the price of the Pan-Am just gone up but the Yankees ended with the best record in Baseball.
You Red Sox fan,with a wonderful wife that is a Yankee fan.
Enjoy LSU playing Florida next week !!
I will send you more rocker can pic's.
Maurice
