WOW... that is the only word i can think of as i am wiping the drewl from my mouth.
Thanks Bill for sharing the great collection you have put together. The room looks great being you did all of that work yourself. All the original items look great together... I couldn't keep an original Husky on the floor. LOL


Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

I couldn't either! The body is original but the lens is a repro. The Maple Leaf Coop is also a repro (bought it to outside).

Bill,

That's incredible! Thanks for sharing it with us - it must have taken forever to get all of those items together.

I love the way everything is grouped.

Wes, Many hours of thought went into deciding what sign went where. I could have used a computer program like you did for your globe shelf.

a fantastic display, of great petro. items. The effort you put into the layout really sets it off. I went and looked at my collection which is handing on the garage walls in no pattern at all.I closed the door and vowed not to look at it again!LOL.Great display. Norm Huff.

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.

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.
