There's one on e-bay now,not as nice and not the same size nor style nor the same bottles, for $2500. If $2500 is a fair price for the one online (a Mobileoil collector could tell you if it is), I imagine yours with those bottles is worth more.
item # 191672871547
Nicole p.s. for the newbies, cut and paste the item number into the ebay box at the bottom of this page. This way if anyone purchases said item, a finders fee goes to support this site.

Super clean... rarely seen bottles... I could see it bringing 3000 at one of the auctions. It's super hard to find clean gargoyle, it wasn't treated well when peggy became the only mascot.
I'd search around for the other 2 bottles, a full matching set might pop the number nearer 3500.

It's always fun to think about the variation in bottles. 1000 stations is not much (though it might be in Canada) when you consider the abundance of stations across the US which used the other more commonly seen styles.
I don't see them being a detractor to the value of the display in question, especially for those who live along the northern border states.
