Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Showcase and Stories, Petroliana BOTW: "BUYS OF THE WEEK!" - NOV 23RD - NOV 29TH.

MINE IS ACTUALLY A FREEBIE OF THE WEEK, SO I'LL POST IT ANYWAY. MY BUDDY AND I WENT OUT IN THE WOODS TO CHECK OUT AND OLD FORD MODEL A(?) CHASSIS' CONDITION. IN THE PROCESS HE REACHED INTO A FALLEN GARAGE AND PULLED OUT THIS FAIRLY DECENT SOCONY-MOBIL BRANDED WIDE WHITE WALL TIRE. I SCRUBBED IT PRETTY CLEAN AND SPRAYED SOME SON OF A GUN ON THE RUBBER WHICH MADE IT LOOK DARN GOOD! AT LEAST NOW I HAVE A REAL WWW TIRE IN MY TIRE HOLDER OUT IN FRONT OF MY GARAGE. I ALSO ADDED THE HUB CAP WHICH I THINK IS FROM THE 60'S AND OF UNKNOWN MAKE THAT I FOUND SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY!



CLOSE-UPS:

A Bay qt can from Don, 5qt, Thanks Don. to go with my Bay globe.

Here are a few of mine (over a few weeks). Most were purchased from an estate sale, but an equal amount from a swap meet and from various oldgassers.

Last few..

Jason,
Now you have to get a matching Imperial SNOW GAGE !

Got this pump from "Blocket" (Swedish Craigslist) a couple of weeks back, and should pic it up on the farm the next weekend.
Rust free and only those small dents visible in this picture. Should be an easy resto - thinking about Good Gulf - Blue base and lower parts with orange upper parts.

Here is mine...Randy

Here are a few of my smalls (I do like those smalls).

From Jolly-John:


To go along with the Cities Service Christmas card. Two cards with original envelopes postmarked 1938:






Lastly a postcard from John and two blotters:

I had DB make these for me since finding a real super a oil can is almost impossible. They look great next to the globes. They are marked so no question that they are repro's. But if any of you were ever thinking of having a can made by DB i would recommend him. They turned just like i wanted.

Im posting these for fellow oldgasser Sanford. These are very nice deep rock globes

Just picked these items up today from a friend who purchased everything but the maps at an estate sale sat. Globes have never been on a pump. The small paper clip is from the Paragon company. xmas came early.
