Dick Bennet can tell you , he'll be around pretty soon.

HELLO EVERY ONE!!!!! WHERES DICK????? ON THE PART WHERE IT SAYS "SHELL GREASE", IT HAS ONE OF THOSE VERY OLD GREASE ZERKS FROM THE 20'S AND 30'S. I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT YOU CALL THEM. IT STAMPED "PROPERTY OF SHELL OIL CO." ON THE TOP BOX PART. ONE OF THE BRASS TAGS SAYS " WET CLUTCH OIL" WHAT IS A WET CLUTCH? FRANK..

Its a LUBRITORIUM desk, I think all the different grease guns and stuff hung on the rack and your books went in the top, wheel it over to the car and give er!!Be home in time for the news!!
If that's not true I will make up something else but I think I am close!!!
Remember those other things, the porcelain wall racks that held all the different guns, this looks like a variation of that.,................................
DODOGAS

I agree with dodogas.
I think the bottom tray was to catch the drippings from the guns, and keep it off the floor.

DOES ANYONE HAVE A PICTURE OF ONE OF THESE?/

Yea, You Do!!

YEAH,, I WORDED THAT WRONG.. NO AN OLD PICTURE OF A STATION WHERE IT WOULD BE USED..

Frankie,
That's almost as bad as asking for a picture of INSIDE display area. Now YOU want a picture of INSIDE a Shell Lube Bay??
Help him out[side] DB

Frankie ,Frankie,thats like asking for some one to show you a bucket of steam, your lucky you found that, let a lone you find a picture of one being used , you might ask if anyone out there might have a restored one ??? you might git a response. you must remember most of the collectors are over 50 we need time to think about questions , ha ha . where did I put the remote??? where did Jim put the picture???
have a nice day Frank, we still love'ya.

I seen one of these 25 years ago in a trucking garage in marquette mi. the base held different bars to mount different size tires for the semi's the top was full of valve stems tire snot and patches, it might not have been made for that use ,but thats what they used it for.
