Do you have any closeups of the wall sconces? Those are great!

Great display of a Super collection Bill! My only complaint is that it reminds me I will never have all the pump plates for Gulf or Shamrock or Mobil or Union or Texaco, and the list goes on forever...
I KNOW I have petro-envy!!

Here are some close ups of the wall sconces as requested. They are original made of cast iron. I striped layers of paint and rewired them. I picked up this one at the Peotone show last week. Got a place to put it but not up yet. [This message has been edited by wfort39663 (edited 11-01-2007).]

Very Nice!!!!!!!!!!!
Could you show a close up of the Socony license plate toppers? Looks like a little different paint scheme on one of them. Thanks, Dave

I cant believe that Gulf pump plate collection. And the oil can banks! Both are my favorite to collect and I see I have a long way to go. I cant imagine the time and expense needed to get to this point.
Can I request a close up of both collections so I can keep track of what I still need?

Those wall sconces are great! I would love a pair if anyone else has something similar for sale as a set.
