I found this can at an antique mall today. This table and chairs aren't petroliana related, but cool none the less. The table is porcelain.

I don't have a pic, but I picked up a Gilbarco 96C at a local salvage yard this week. It was one of two pumps that the yard had, the other was a Bennet 510(?) clockface. My friend found it, and "let" me have the Gilbarco. Brady

Well, my dry run is over! Not having ANYTHING to work on in my shop today, being a somewhat crippled geek, being I haven't spent any money for any toys lately, I hit the road today, attended an auction and purchased EVERYTHING they had related to petro. Here's the fruits of my fling; A complete Tokheim 500 & an American 2487-V (skinless but I can deal with that, no problem). I had to take the top and the cylinder off the Tokheim to get it on the truck. 2 original lenses, a 13 1/2" Sky Chief with body & a 15" Red Crown - mint condition on both lenses!! A Hy Power thermometer, an unidentified porcelain sign (probably not petro) and a Standard Oil thermometer; Thanks for looking, Neal [This message has been edited by gas pump freak (edited 05-15-2005).]

Here is a sign I found in an old Pontiac Dealership, the owners son found it in the rafters in the attic. It had never been used. Thanks Edited to make image appear. Here are a few more signs I found on the same trip. Thanks http://pumps.theedwardsteam.com/uploads/files/IM000133.JPG [This message has been edited by pumps&signs (edited 05-17-2005).]

POPS - THAT TABLE AND CHAIR SET COULD BE FROM MEXICO. A LAWYER FRIEND OF MINE WAS ALWAYS VACATIONING THERE AND BRINGING A DIFFERENT ON HOME EACH TIME. LAST I SAW HE HAD ABOUT 8 DIFFERENT INCLUDING ONE LIKE YOURS. THEY ALSO MADE ONE (PORC) THAT HAD A CHESS/CHECKERS BOARD ON TOP!
PUMP & SIGNS - GREAT FIND ON THAT SIGN. UNUSUAL GRAPHICS FOR MOTOR OVERHAUL SERVICE. THAT'S GOT TO BE PRETTY RARE!
EVERYONE ELSE - GREAT STUFF SO FAR....LET'S KEEP 'EM COMIN'!

Doc, Yeah, it came from an outdoor cafe in Mexico. The guy I got this one from had another version with something written in Spanish on it a couple of years ago. Do you have any idea what its worth? Its not for sale, just curious.

POPS - LOOKS TO BE OF 60'S-70'S VINTAGE. IN THE COND. IT'S IN - I'D SAY IT'S WORTH $125-150. MAYBE MORE IF THE CHAIRS SEEM TO HAVE ORIGINAL PAINT AND THE SEAT PART IS METAL.

Doc, Chairs have original paint and metal seats. To me the chairs look to be from the 70's and the table older. Thanks for the info....I'm in good shape re: what I paid.

Looks like Brad had a good week! I had a so so week. Spent the sunny weekend in the pool and therefore not looking for Petro stuff. Also it's Spring Cleaning at the Poor Mans Museum so it's too messy to add any new stuff until I'm done getting rid of other stuff. Plucked this little gem out of an antique store right around the corner from GasPumpRobs shop. It was a cheap date and I like thermometers. Just bought this one a week or so before. I need you Delco experts to tell me which one is older??? (Not which one looks older).

Been a bit slow at sharing....so this covers a few weeks.......... These two signs came from from the Gary Runyon auction..... This one's from the the world famous Rex Benson collection. I know, it's not a Mobil sign, but it goes really well with my other elephant signs..... A recent ebay acquisition...... ------------------ Richard Weir "Pegasus" Hillsboro, Ohio

Thanks for thinking of me, but I have this Fortune sign and the regular version also. I do need the round versions but it will cost a "fortune" to buy them.
