Does anyone know if the aluminum faceplate trim and sight glass bezel ring on a 36B were polished or painted?I have a complete and original 36B I'm working on and they appear to have a thin coat of silver paint on them.(Could be oxidation).Also does anyone know what the average price for premium gas(Texaco Sky Chief)was circa 1939-1941?IndianRefining can probably help with this...
Thanks! Tim

The surfaces which you mention were probably originally polished aluminum (or other "bright" metal) but most likely received at least one coat of aluminum paint, over the years - especially if it was one which I painted!

The price of Sky Chief at that time would probably have been in the neighborhood of 30.9, depending on the area of the country.
