My buy this week cost all of $4.50. Not very collectable for most people in Old Gas Land but is is signed by my grandpa Ralph Miller and his buisness partner. They were the local Sinclair distributors back in the day and a lot of the cans and stuff that turns up in this area probably at one time passed through their buisness. Anyway, I found this in a local junk shop today, saw their names on it and picked it up to add to the collection. 266 gallons of Sinclair Power X gas delivered cost all of $72.09. One other thing, the gas was $0.201 per gallon and the tax was $0.07 cents per, about 30%

First off, Kim that is a very nice firestone sign. Im sure it will look great with the curb signs you have. Picked up this early havoline pennant on the reverse side there is an image of cans in a wood crate  And this clean pump sign. 
The most valuable commodity I know of is information-Wall Street

Picked up the faces in Feb., restored a body about six months ago, picked up some rings in Oct. and put it all together tonight. Some things take me awhile but I get to them eventually.
