AFTER TURNING DOWN THAT OTHER $95 ESSO OIL BOTTLE, I COME ACROSS THIS ONE YESTERDAY IN A SHOP WINDOW. ALSO $95, BUT STORE OWNER SAYS SHE'LL GO $75. IS IT WORTH IT? THANKS, ~DOC

I've seen them as low as $50 up to $125. Probably in the ball park at $75 ------------------ Chuck Signs Wanted: Sunset, Clipper, Habor, Indian, Powerlube, Beacon, Sinclar Aircraft

"It's only worth what someone is willing to give", ever heard that one before? I think 75 bucks is fair if you want it. FYI, 5 quart is right, not a ESSO bottle, but a Shell bottle.

I WAS REFERRING TO ANOTHER BOTTLE I POSTED LIKE 3 WEEKS AGO AT THE SAME PRICE FROM ANOTHER SHOP THAT WAS ALSO $95 AND YOU GUYS SAID IT WAS A RIP OFF.
THIS SHELL BOTTLE IS SOMETHING ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT. I THINK I WILL DEF GO PICK IT UP THIS COMING WEEKEND. I LIKE IT!
THANKS!

So oil used to be sold in glass bottles? Cool, I learned something today.
