The BIG Dino that sits in front of the sinclair stations you hardly see anymore, what kind of value do these have? I found a guy that has 2 of them, I am trying to get him to sell me one.


I am always looking for anything Texaco or Oklahoma oil and gas company's, also I am a newbie at seeking globes.

a guy in Waukon, Iowa brings a semi load up from mexico every year and then puts them on auctions

they go for huge money

my neighbor bought one on a horse sale(of all places!) for 700.00 and he thought he paid too much! I offered him a grand and he wouldn't take it though!

Wanna buy a trailer load rogerg? I love the Dino's. they are all over Oklahoma and Nevada. I stop and take pics of them when I can. There was nothing negative about my comment sir. Some might take me as being negative but I am all about everything gas and oil! Get to know me and you'll know.
