Hi all, I know this might upset some people on this site, but I wanted to show the Associated sign I made for our Early West Jordan gas station display. Anyone who knows these sign can see it is a reproduction. There will only be the one sign and it will be label facsimile of an original sign. I did the graphics in Photoshop and had our local sign company make it for me on aluminum. I believe that this one sign will not devalue anyone's original sign. If you want me to have original items on display. We do take tax deductible donations. I do appreciate all the help I have been given over the last few years, there are some great people here. I also bought a reproduction Veedol sign 25.5 off of Ebay, I furnished a metal stand from an old fan and our blacksmith fabricated the ring. I painted it a few weeks ago and put it back together today. I will post a photo of the finished product when I get a chance. Thanks WJCurator One more thing, Sinclair Oil Company here in Salt Lake City, donated us a globe like below but it is a white glass globe body with the two lenses.

Hello, here is a update on the West Jordan Historical Museum's Early Gas Stations of West Jordan. Attached is the conceptual idea of what I wanted for the main display of our early Associated Flying A/Veedol station. As of this moment, I have the reproduction Associated sign, The Veedol curb sign reproduction, I have the reproduction Flying A flange sign, all the Utah license plates are real and in place. I have the reproduction Veedol clock, I have the Flying A Globe body and lenses, I have one of the Ethyl Associated lenses and the globe body, I have all the photos of the gas station as pictured. I have the case with all the smalls completed (most of the buttons are reproductions) and in place. I have the Veedol 30 cent reproduction sign, and a reproduction of the air and water sign. I should have the White gold decal by the end of the summer. I have the Veedol outboard motor oil can. The Wayne 615 is painted in Associated colors, I have the decals and everything to go on it. Just need a hose. I have a Flying A gas sign, which I hope to convert to a neon sign in the near future. I have a Flying A reproduction ad glass that is in a light box so it can be seen with light. I have the lubster and greaser pump I just need the decal for the lubster, I need to repaint and get a decal for the grease pump, I have a can that I will paint in Veedol colors and get a decal. I have the greasy rag container as shown, Then I have a reproduction oil can rack and have a Veedol decal to go on it like shown. That is where I am at the moment. All the other gas stations, Chevron, Covey, Sinclair, Conoco, Frontier, Husky, Vico/Pep88, Utoco, Amoco, American will be on the other walls. I do have two reproduction Covey globes, a Conoco ethyl globe, a HC Sinclair globe which are reproductions. Before everything is in place, I am building a wooden island for all that stuff on the ground to sit on. I do need to include a photo of the Associated which became a Sinclair 1954-1960. Well that should bring me up to date. I can hardly wait till we open the exhibit. Please email me with any questions, ideas, donations etc. Thanks. WJCurator

I do get out once in awhile to the antique stores in my area. I have never run across any of those items that I posted. I have tried getting some on Ebay, but always lose out to a higher bidder. Now there are 4 oil cans that I will have to reproduce the best way I can since Dick passed away. Vico, both types, Frontier and Husky. WJCurator
