Here is mine, a letter from S.F. Bowser dated March 7, 1891, and signed by by the man himself.
Thanks to Jack Sim for selling me this piece, as a pump guy, it is my pride and joy!

The date on the two piece Sinclair sign has to be a mistake. It's probably from 1938 or 1948. I don't think they even used that style of sign until the early 30's.
Maybe Wes Maxwell can chime in as he's very knowledgeable about Sinclair.

Not sure which of these is the oldest, but suspect they're all from the 1900-1910 period......




I'm thinking the one without the Gargoyle is a bit older







Maybe Mr Wadhams would know the age of this one

I love those Vacuum Oil Co. cans!

That Wadhams Badger can is very rare. Only have seen a few. I would say around 1913-1915

Richard, I love that Badger can!

I have a Badger can also, but I think it may be mid to late 20s?

Scott B had an article in PCM about repainting a one piece etched globe and I think it was very similair to the Penn Empire sign. I will have to double check. It would date the sign to the late teens or 20's I would think.


Drive with Care and Buy Sinclair!! I buy Sinclair globes, signs, cans, ect.
