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.

I salute you wfort39663.
The dedication required to do something like that is astronomical.

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.
