My favourite Oil Companies I display on original racks. The others I hang my signs first and use the cans as fillers. With all their great colours they really give a wall some pop. I've been building shelves using reclaimed cedar boards.

Thanks Guys...Steve your rack is slightly different with yours having the V shaped front crossers. Various racks in Canada were made by a company from Toronto and distributed to the stations. I just can't remember the Company's name. All seem to be stamped on the back crossers with the same manufacturers name. Hard to read this after years of paint. Dick...Looks like you have the market on Indian Motorcycle cans. No wonder I can't find one..Lol

Coopersplace, I hope this isn't insulting, but are all those cans in the racks real? If so, where in the world do you find so many minty cans? Wow!!
And that green Pennzoil sign? That thing has to be rarer than tits on a bull!!

Thanks, all the quarts and signs are original Canadian ones. There are a few repro quart racks in the bunch. Eventually they will get replaced with originals as I find them. It has been 25 years of digging, picking, dealing, trading, chasing over the countryside and lots of cleaning. There a few rougher cans there but those are usually the ones that I will probably find only once because of their rarity. A number of the other cans I have been lucky enough to upgrade over the years. It is still a great passion for me and there a lot of good people in it who are very fair to deal with. I try whenever I can to return the favour with those who have helped me out. Cheers, Don.

Really like the Lubars, I didn't realize National had their version along with Tokheim. Makes sense though since they were made to go with the 39's and 300's.

Thought I'd re-bost this thread as it has been 5 months since I started it and many things have changed in my room. Here's a panoramic shot of one side of my room and a down shelf shot of some groups of cans. Would like to get some gulf cans for the end.
