NON PETRO... this sign was a natural... we hunt and fish and i drank enough of that damn beer back when it was good (wayyyyy back).



taken off an old boat trailer..

Here is my Ebay find..ad from the Visible Pump Company INC, Findlay Ohio. The pump has a Hi-Speed Gasoline one piece globe on it. The ad is from Motor Age...Nov 1,1923

Does anybody have the address for the company in Findlay Ohio? It is not in Jacks book.

Thanks
Randy

The only thing I came up with this week...a really clean 52 x 26 porcelain Humble sign. I have been trying to buy this sign for a while and the guy called yesterday and was ready to sell it. I obliged him. Yes Paddy, I have already hung it!

Here are some things from the last few months.First,Gargoyle sign from Ebay:


Tiolene sign,probably a Hi-Speed sign from Iowa Gas:


Group of signs from Iowa Gas & Dixie Gas:


Some cans from Iowa Gas,Ebay,& Dixie Gas:


Finally a rare green background Pan Am globe
from Dan Matthews auction:

Pat.

here are mine from a coupla weeks ago the hc came from ebay on a hull body.other lens is cracked,but this one is very nice.a stael at 62 bucks i think.the deep rock was also on eabay.but it came with a cracke lens and a perfect one.unfortunatly i talked to jj the day before it arrived and well you know what happened!!(sorry john).the cool part is the deep rock is on a stepped glass body,which i am told was used by sinclair almost always.so if i can get the other deep rock off without using ups i can put my hcs on the original body.guess i'll have to ask maria if i can use the bathtub for a day or so!that should go over like a lead balloon!here is the stepped body,as you can see the deeprock lens was only glued on,no screws
