 NOTICE THE LTD. This can has the same graphics as the PRESSED TIN PAINTED SIGN. I belive this a Canadian or New Zeland/Austrailian can, even through it is marked 1 U.S.GALLON. IP: Logged |

Just made a couple of calls, no date yet. But did find out that Dan McLaughlin HAD a Badly Faded can like the one pictured. His also was an LTD. Dan, at one time probly had the largest SoCal collection of GILMORE. He still has a GILMORE STATION setup inside a building. Complete with NEON SIGNAGE on Porceline signs. A few years ago, he sold alot of stuff back to the GILMORE TRUST. I still have more contacts to call. IP: Logged |

Just got back from Pomona [rained on Sat., Cold today, TOTAL FINDS 0 ]. Info I have is the can & sign is LATE 30's. Maybe as late as early '41, when GILMORE sold out to MOBIL. Very few metal signs & cans were made during the war, & GILMORE was re-branded after the war. db IP: Logged |
