Good evening! It's Sunday night and most of you know what that means!
Right the first time..."BUYS OF THE WEEK!"

Hope you all did well!

I managed to find a small group of goodies to buy at today's METRO PETRO show....



Thanks!

Doc I love the super a not an easy can to come by

My finds for the week...

I knew they made them, but never seen one before. Nice White T roofing sign.

Picked up these three nice Wareco Outboard quarts recently. We were actually second in line on these cans, but when the first buyer didn't come through we were able to get them bought and are quite happy to have them!

The Leonard and McClanahan are both from Michigan companies and are tough globes to find. They are each on early male/female capco bodies and they make a neat pair.

Lonnie & Aaron Hop

some more stuff from the guy I met in the coffee line. More to pickup.
My fav is the cast Pennzoil sign from Ohio.

Red Crown Ethyl globe; letters were painted by the person that I purchased it from, I am going to remove to take back to original condition. Flange sign came from same collection.

I have not posted any BOTW in over 2 months so I thought I'd post some of my favorites. The Mobil collection expanded with the purchase of a nice Mobiloil Outboard sign, some smalls, and while not mint by any means the 100 pound Mobilube can is pretty neat. You just don't see them offered for sale that often.
I wanted to share with you the story on the NOS Mobiloil quart with the scarcer Arctic lithographed top. The eBay seller told me 10-15 years ago his buddy found 3 sealed cases of these ca.1940 cans out west in a storage shed on an old oil field. This guy had a junker old truck that burned oil, so whenever he needed oil he dumped in one of these NOS quarts and threw the cans away! He had thrown out over 65 of these cans before deciding he might try and sell one on eBay because the "Pickers" liked to buy old oil cans. I think he found out he had made a big mistake over the years!
The last pic shows the Marathon Endurance 5 quart I picked up off of Old Gas last week. I've wanted a nice can to go along with my art deco Marathon runner globe so I was glad to be able to add this one to my collection. I've seen several quart versions of this can sell, but this was the first time in my 5 years of collecting that I had seen a 5 quart offered. The other items in the photo were picked up at different antique malls locally.
Have a good one all,
Darin

I bought this awhile ago, but the shipper just dropped it off yesterday. I have wanted one of these American 700/800 pumps for a long time. I would have been happy with a 900, but glad I got this 710.

some stuff i got this weekend.

your killing us with the bike..

Congratulation's on the American pump Matt, I know you've been looking for a long time now!!!
Both pumps are are a great addition to your collection.

DWSheffer: you have a nice mobil display..
