Hello, it's me, C Cragg, just using a new name now that the Poor Man's Petrolania Museum is up and operating. Here is my one and only box (hope you can see the imprint okay in the photo). For those of you that can't visit the museum in Solvang you can visit me in cyber space at my new website http://mysite.verizon.net/res1ap7a/ [This message has been edited by the poor mans museum (edited 10-25-2004).]

Hi Scott,
Here's a couple items for your COTW topic. The first is a pump island box from France that would have been placed outside next to a gas pump and been used to store cans or bottles of oil. The second is a wood box end from Gilmore Oil that's had a wood "frame" added. The original box was made for cans of oil to be exported to New Zealand.
