Since I have been here on Oldgas a number of the members have been helpful with information and even giving me a "first-shot" at items I collect. One of those has been Alan.

Alan, went above and beyond this last week, in helping me. As his "handle" states Alan is to Veedol and Flying A Oil items as Doc is to Invader Oil items.

Veedol and Flying A items go to Alan's home and are never seen again, lol. So when I noticed a Veedol household oiler on Ebay, I did a PM to Alan too see if he was bidding on it? Long story short, I pleaded, cried and stopped just short of offering him one of the younger member's here first born.

He felt sorry for me and didn't bid against me. True the oiler wasn't/isn't in great shape, but I have needed/wanted one for the last couple of years to add to my Flying A oilers.

The oiler is now sitting on a shelf next to it's "brother's" because of Alan. He knew my top bid price and was upfront with me before the bidding ended that he would have out bid me by almost double my high bid.

So a BIG THANK YOU TO YOU ALAN!!!!!!!!

Oh, here is a photo of the oilers;
