Hey,

Just got back from Peotone! We had a great time there, and saw some good friends and some new faces as well.

I found a few good items this time, but fell short of my goal of a globe or cool sign...
I got two nice DX maps, a very nice Faultless can and a DX Extrinol 6qt for my Sunray/Mid-Continent collection, and a sweet Johnson 5qt too!


Tara really scored big this time, too, with a big pile of Sinclair goodies:





Have a good one!

This one is a FSOTW: "Free Sign of the Week", guess I'll hang it on the outside of the barn. It needs a little more distressing.

The first item I'm posting was a gift from a friend and fellow oldgaser. What makes it unique is the original shipping envelope with a Dec. 23, 1966 postmark.


I got this mobile from ebay. It dates from the mid 1950's.


These printers blocks also came from ebay.


The Rubber Lube and paint came from the swap meet.



Wanted: Gas pump globes:Sinclair & affiliates, IL companies. Ripple bodies. Anything Sinclair, Stoll, Pierce, 4 Bros.

I picked up my first air meter, Sat. afternoon, it really pays to be friends with a man who removes underground tanks from old stations for a living. The name plate says it is a model 98 ECO. Now I have to get Jacks book on air meters. Will this madness ever stop?

This is my only pump. I always told myself I'd keep a Mae West if I ever found one in nice original condition. Well,I found it...




Original cylinder, no cracks, no missing doors, even had the original Texaco star globe in a metal body on it. As the older gentleman (who was in his 80s) told me: "You won't find one like that at the swap meets..."

I bought it from a collector who lived no more than 5 miles from where I grew up in southeastern Oklahoma.

I bought this 5 qt on eBay. Don't know much about cans and don't have any 5 qt cans in my collection.....all I have is 1 qt cans, but thought this was cool. Cleaned up nice. I read on this site how to clean up cans...used WD-40 , a soft rag, and followed up with some wax (Maguires scratch remover wax)....cleaned up pretty good. Doesn't have a lid, but going to have Dick Bennett relid for me.

Here's a before pic


Here's an after pic
