Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Showcase and Stories, Petroliana Aviation stuff

As many of you know, I collect CHEVRON stuff. http://www.oldgas.com/shoptalk/ubb/Forum4/HTML/001159.html
Among the items that I've collected, are a few Aviation items. I felt that these were worthy of their own display, so I took some time this weekend, to make one.

The back of the display is a 1940 aviation map of the Salt Lake City area. On the left side, I stacked my Aviation oil cans. Below the shelf, are a few "Flight Guide" cards. And on the shelf, a model of "The Spirit of St Louis", which of course, was fueled with Red Crown fuel for its historic flight. Behind it is a picture of the plane, and beside it, a 1927 Red Crown tanker.

Now the search is on for a few more Aviation items. This stuff multiplies fast....

Anything Chevron

Thunder-are you looking for ANY Aviation or Chevron only??

THE BACK.

Very nice Thunder, I always enjoy seeing the displays the members here put together. I don't see one of your "RPM handy oilers" and lube cans in the display. Can't imagine all the time that was spent making sure that everything was lubed, especially before zirc fittings. Again, very nice!

I like CHEVRON, I like it alot.
Mike

Thanks guys...
Frank. CHEVRON only. Thanks again.
Bob. Thank you also. But this shadow box is for "Aviation" stuff only. So even though a handy oiler may have been used, if it isnt labeled "Aviation" I probably wont put it in here.
But this isnt MY thread, lets see what other Aviation stuff is out there...

My aviation items are put to shame by Thunder's nice shadow box, but thanks to Doug I do have a few Texaco items. The 2 larger logbooks were never used, but the smaller was used from July '41 to Jan '42.

Here's a couple of Mobiloil cans.

Is that all? No more Aviation stuff on shelves?

Here's a windsock I need to figure out where to hang.
Here are some cans

Some more cans

And a Stearman I made for my Dad. It took 3 yrs for me to build it, its got about a 5' wingspan, and the 742 designated the month and year he enlisted in the Navy.

I've added a few cans since last month and won 2 Phillips 66 cans on ebay this evening. Will post them when they arrive. Had won a mobil on ebay, but it never got sent.


Sorry about the flash, an old camera and it is as stubborn as I am.

Cool banner and sign, Roadrelics. Love that aviation stuff.

I have done my part to keep this going, Jeff. lol A couple new cans for me.

wes, great site, i'll keep checking your site for good buys! love all the red indian stuff. what does a red indian globe go for? Chuck

NEAT PICTURES!THANKS FOR SHOWING YOUR AVIATION ITEMS.HERE ARE A FEW I HOPE YOU ENJOY.MARK

HERE IS A NEAT OLD SIGN I PICKED UP.

Nice can Bob. Archer, I saw a nice Texaco wind sock the other weekend. Would make a nice pair! I've got a couple of items...will have to get some pics up in the morning.

I have picked up some more cans since I last posted, thanks to some members here and ebay. Outbid on a couple more, a Champlin and a PureFlight, would have looked nice in my collection, LOL.

roadrelics
Yes you need to have that banner professionally framed.

That thing has everything going for it-very very cool
Mark

Since I first posted a response here my computer hard drive has "taken a dump". So here is part of what I have so far in the way of aviation cans. In my "Jimmie Allen" display, I have membership cards and "winged pins" from Skelly, Richfield and HI-SPEED, as well as a Skelly map(I have 2) and a membership album from Skelly.

This is the only aviation piece I have.

This is my single contribution to the aviation subject!

I picked these up from E-Bay

How about an aviation gas pump?



I picked this up a couple years back from the famous Crescent City auction. It came from a small airstrip nearby.
