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.

I have two versions of that same can. One is the quart version like yours shown, and another is a gallon. I believe that they are very early freedom cans.
FREEDOM oil items wanted.

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.
