The two Bardahl cans on the left with the nice graphics are from Canada
with english on one side and french on the other.
The Special Duty is from the older green/black era.



A couple of nice auto paint cans.
The Red Devil is litho on metal.
Most paint cans are paper label.
The Magic is a polish powder. I might try that stuff.
I could use some magic from time to time.

Hard to beat that trailer purchase, but here's what I came up with.

My first BOTW, was actually another FOTW (Freebie of the Week). A guy in Paso Robles gave me this Lincoln chassis oil pump along with the modern Mobil barrel. I was actually thinking about swapping it with the older Mobil barrel on the left (another FOTW) but wasn't sure if you could actually pump grease through it. Any thoughts on that?



This bunch is a combination of garage sales, ebay and an antique store find. I've been hoarding Flying A maps lately (not sure why). More maps to come from ebay soon. Couldn't quite afford that Polly can.



Still think Ron Bettin has me beat. Next week he'll be showing us pictures of the pink flamingos as his BOTW!
