I have the common 1qt and 2 & 5 gallon cans. Looking for anything else though an original globe would be fantastic but interested in anything that's available...

Before his death, I was working with Mr. Sears about the items shown in the above picture. He seemed very friendly so I asked him if he was going to duplicate the clothes hanging on the clothes line on the right.

My apologizes to everyone and to Mr.Sears. My mistake was probably due to an assumption.

Here are a few more pics of some sears stations.

I believe all the original stations are now gone except the one in Oneida NY and the restored station that is now the HP sears oil museum in Rome NY.

Hello. I was hoping to contact Jack Sim above. I live in St. Louis, MO and am a relative of the Sears family. I was hoping to get in touch, but I am unable due to the forum's rules.
