Doc, I have looking to buy a Husky blue lighter for a long time to go with the others but no luck. Hope to see a picture of it. I think it is the best looking one. I believe I bought a Husky can from you recently on eBay. Scott (quartcans)

Man are we lucky getting to see items from both sides of the U.S.A..Thanks Jim.
Now how about a PURE, ATLANTIC, ASHLAND or SOHIO lighter or can.Lets See Em!! Rex

Here it is Wednesday, I injoy showing my collection to you guys, so heres 5 more lighters from the left side.

Sunset oil, after fileing bankruptcy in 1939-40, reopened stations under the name of Golden Eagle in 1943-44,backed by a Canadian company and later 1947 moved to Canada, the same Canadian company also bought up Beacon of Ca, now under the name of ULTRAMAR. you can still see the famous eagle from Sunsets Golden Eagle stations,

This Shell is not as old as I would like to get, even though it was a local one I would like it to say of Calif. but it will do. another lighter at 14:00.

This Norwalk is another hard to find, brass plated and the other side has a pump with 7 blends , late 50ties,

the next posting from my collection will be at 17:00.

Thanks for showing DB, That Norwalk is awesome. I enjoy looking and showing also. The lighters are kind of hard to photograph.

Its not the camrea Scott, its the program , I use fim factory. my problem is getting to close and it gets fuzy. but with a good program you make the picture as big or little as you want , these are only 12kb. so it doesn't take up so much room, just an old fart still learning, can't spell, but haven fun. You have a lot of nice lighters also. I like the Husky.

I'll start the day off with two twins, one has been used the other n.o.s. from the Mohawk Petroleum company. injoy.

WOW on the pair of Mohawks. Those are terific DB. Scott

thanks Scott, you won't believe this but the one in the box, I got at a fle market. for $5.

Sometimes you just have to be at the right place at the right time. It pays off to look at all of the outlets we have. Flea markets, antique malls, swap meets and gas shows and networking, etc...You look hard enough their are still bargins to be had. Last summer I found a 30" Independent Ethyl porcelain sign in an antique mall in 9+ condition for $100 in Guthrie, Oklahoma around the corner from Vic's. Keep up the good work. Scott
