This is some plastic I got this week. My wife likes it when I stay away from the plastic in my wallet and screw around with this STUFF. One large Chevron will go on my roof along with some others that are already up there. Another couple will go on the wall to help insulate the shop(thats what I tell my wife about the house). There are a couple of others I am saving just for YOU. At a LOW LOW PRICE OF COURSE.

There's some great stuff being shown here! Kinda neat seeing the stuff everyone collects that's a little removed from the "star" collectibles. On that note, here's my contribution to this month.

Anyone who remembers my opportunity earlier this year to acquire what I could get my hands on from a closing station in town, these 2 tire signs were a late and final addition to the total haul.



This is the sign in my avatar pic. It's a big one!

I have received a couple PMs and emails about the "can" I posted. So here are a couple of photos of it opened. The can is dated 11/34 and is to inform Texaco customers about Texacos's new sealed can.






I have this because of the kindness of my friend; BlackTee

OK, I finally got around to getting some pics of my Mobil paper, plastic, and masonite items. Hope I don't bore you all with too many pics!
Thanks,
Darin

Circa 1940 banner advertising the new design can. Approx 27X40.

Circa 1934 Socony banner, approx 3X5 foot. I discovered off one of my White Star maps they used that Climatic Control slogan about that year.

1930's paper sign from Argentina. Great lithography on this one, like my old movie posters, and similar in size, 27X40.

1950's paper sign, 14"X35" in size.

More to follow!
Darin

And here's the rest.......

Masonite S-V V for Victory license plate.

Cardboard Radiator cover, 1930's or 1940's vintage I'd imagine.

And last, I have a heavy cardboard Kerosene and Burning Oil sign, ca. 1940's. I actually have a 5X7 photo with one of these signs hanging outside on a shed at a station in upstate New York. It's neat to have something like that to go along with an item, picturing it when it was originally used and meant to be thrown away.
Have a good day everyone!
Darin

There were a number of posters I purchased from a guy in New York. That's a sign at his place. I don't know anything about it. He's an "estate chaser"... So, I think everything of his is for sale... I tried to look him up on Ebay so I could get his "user name" to you if you wanted to contact him. I see his User ID is not on the system anymore... I do have his phone number if you would like to contact him. PM me if you would like to call his cell phone.

They are pretty bulky but I have a plan... wink

I have a 50' x 60' shop that I'm constructing a full-scale Sinclair Gas Station inside of... The service bay area will be 30' wide x 25' deep... The ceiling height inside the service area will be 13'. I will run two rows of posters above the toolboxes and benches around the entire area.

The Retail Sales area will be 20' wide x 15' deep... I will run a set of posters around the room above the shelving...

The owner's office will be 15' wide x 10' deep... I will run a set of globes from all eras around the tops of the office bookshelves...

The perimeter of the shop that doesn't have the station walls on it will be lined with an 8' tall picket fence... I will hang all my banners on it surrounding the area.

Everything will be heated and cooled. grin

Hey Dale,

These posters were supposed to be have a run-time of 3 months each... It's hard to believe that paper material could handle outdoor exposures and last that long! Considering the time period I'm interested in collecting (1950-1970), that would translate into 80 posters... I've got 50 down... 30 to go!! grin

Everyone knows of the free-standing "Clean Restrooms" sign that was roadside at Sinclair stations... These posters were placed in similar areas to catch their customer's attention to specials going on or products that Sinclair was trying to promote. Here's an annual conference discussing their marketing layout of a typical station in 1952 with the "Poster Stand" prominently located upfront:



Here's a couple examples of stations displaying a few of the posters and cardboard signs I already have:





Here's a couple of cardboard signs I REALLY would like to locate...





By the way, if anyone has one of these "Poster Stands" available for sale I'd REALLY be interested in purchasing one!! Let me know if you come across one! smile

I was told what the official name of these stands were called but I can't remember the actual name of them...

...hi Ray - thanks again for the photos!...I hate to be the one to tell you, but it's 120 posters...3 months each is 4 every year, for 30 years...4 x 30 = 120...don't sweat it, you're almost halfway there grin

...the Grand Opening thing highlighted in the last photo looks more like a banner, probably canvas, with wood stretchers at the top and bottom...I had a Union 76 one of similar construction...

...you might check with Shaun Higgins...I know he had some posters in the auction at the Mid-Atlantic show a couple weeks ago, I think some were Sinclair...I don't have his info but I'm sure someone on Oldgas does...

..also, I know a fellow Oldgasser who has one of the 'Clean Rest Rooms' swinging signs if you're looking for one...

...what you need are some of the poster displays like they used to have at Wal-Mart, where the posters are in frames, and you can flip through them:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270360253512

...don't know if that's your size, but I'm sure someone makes one that would work for you...

Hey Mark,

I got busy typing and wasn't watching what I was doing... Thanks for catching the slip!! I corrected my statement... I'm really interested in the 1950's and 1960's... For consistency sake with the gas station, I wanted to pick a particular era... I chose the 1959+ Dino era... The more I collected, the more I liked the "Power-X"/Extra Duty era (the red/green cans)... Therefore, I stretched the collecting to 1950... I have a few earlier posters (pre-1950) and a few later posters (post-1970)... but not many...

I already have one of the "Clean Restrooms" signs but I don't have one of the racks that it hangs in... I'll be looking for the frame soon...

Man, Max... That 6' plastic HC sign is awesome! I had no idea they had ever used plastic during the HC years...
