Anyone know the history or have a sign or can from thompson motor oil?

I have a quart from thompson products... pretty neat... got a nice graphic of a old airplane on it. Everything from this company is pretty rare.

Wanted 5 quart cans

This out of CTO Dec 96;

Map with the TP teepee flanked by wings..very cool! Underneath it said

Aero Motor Lubricating Oil

Below that a TP cicular logo with a prop blade going left and right. On the blades it said All Weather Lubricant , below the prop it said Ft Worth Texas.

Around the logo in the middle (of the prop) it said TEXAS PACIFIC COAL & OIL CO. Sorta like a Texaco sign, that is lettering in a circle around the logo.


Also in that issue There was a pic sent in of a new color combo plus pilotshead SINCLAIR AVIATION sign..
sent in by a fellow named RON BETTIN... (first signs heh heh???)
