Scott and Bob are really doing my dirty work by posting these pictures. I cannot thank them enough! The above cans are all either grease cans or of the 5 gallon variety. We have been surprised at what we have run across that matches some of the smaller quart cans. One of my favorites out of this batch is the 5 gallon (still full of steam turbine oil and heavy) white pails that has pictures or ads of other specialty items that Johnson sold printed on the back. That can displays well from any side.
Tomorrow, we will post some of those smaller specialty cans and some insect repellant.

Thanks,

Jeff

unreal !!!!!... do you guys stick to one brand ???... hell.. i guess you do... wish i could do that.. awesome stuff !!!

DROOL IS SUDDENLY AN UNDERSTATEMENT

I knew this months feature was going to be awesome. I'm certainly not disappointed!

Johnson/Brilliant Bronze stuff isn't that easy to find. There is alot of competition for it when you do find it. Jeff and Neil have built their remarkable collection in a short period of time.

Jeff has over 100 more pictures to post!
Bob

All I can say is Wow! I've got a new favorite brand! We don't see any of this on the left coast. hey Eldon, you checking out this orange/black company? I know you are drooling too.....Yes, we love the Harley, Phillips 66 and now Johnson colors.

jeff super collection the best johnson collection i have seen , and also want to thank you for posting the before and after photo of the rare globe that was restored by dawn here at big cheese, you have done a super job with co.of the month and it is very enjoyable. thank you, terry

I really appreciate the kind comments guys. I was a little nervous at first, but, like Bob said, once I got going, I can't wait to post more. I do have a lot of photos. We shall see how much of them get posted. I have the plan laid out for the next few nights. They had a ton of "givaways" and promotional items, some real neat, that I will post.
Most of you have asked, and yes, this is pretty much all we collect. We don't walk through the swaps with blinders on, but we do have a much higher priority on Johnson items. It is fun to see how much of one company we can collect. PLUS, this is really all we can afford. Hell, sometimes we can't afford just Johnson items.
Cheese, sorry about not giving the credit before. I don't know where my mind was. I should have posted that info with the picture. I tell everyone that the quality of Dawn's work blows us away, and, even though it is a little controversial, my father and I have not regretted having that lens restored one bit.
Stay tuned for more goodies.

Thanks,
Jeff

It is only getting better you guys. Here is some more Johnson goodies. Who wants to go out and try to find something Johnson after this thread? Great job Jeff & Neal.
