Great stuff so far, guys! Scott, you have some really good Cities Service quarts. Your red Aero Oil is still the only one I have ever seen. Here are most of the Cities Service quarts I have, there are still a few more at my dad's that I will try to get pictures of later in the week. I apologize for the glare from the flash on some of the cans. Aaron Group Shot: [This message has been edited by olddutchgas (edited 01-07-2007).] IP: Logged |

Here is the green version of the Aero Oil quart. I had this one for a couple of years, but sold it when I bought my house this spring. It's still one of my favorite quarts out there. [This message has been edited by olddutchgas (edited 01-07-2007).] IP: Logged |

If you look closely at a lot of the the Cities Service quarts out there they have small differences. My early blue Anti-Freeze w/ the glacier has the "Cities Service" in the clover logo. I believe Scott's has the "Cities Service Once-Always" in the clover logo. Sorry for the flash on this one. Another group of cans with a number of versions is the fairly common gold Cities Service 5D. There are actually three versions I know of: the Multi-Range in the small rectangle, the SAE 5W-20, and a 10W-30 version that I do not have. The 5D version shown on the edge of this photo with the burst is quite uncommon. IP: Logged |

Aaron, You are correct about my blue glacier having the "Once Always" logo. Have never seen the blue Trojan can before. Here is one from my brothers collection.  ------------------ IP: Logged |

Aaron, I was standing behind you at Iowa Gas when you bought the blue glacier can waiting for you to set it down, you didn't. LOL  ------------------ IP: Logged |

Scott, I looked for that blue glacier can for a long time the chances of me setting it down were not very high. lol. I have seen that red Anti-Freeze can of your brother's in pictures, but have never seen one for sale. My blue Cities Service Trojan quart is the only one I have ever seen and I actually bought it at a local flea market about 10 years ago, I believe I paid a whopping $18 for it. I haven't regretted that purchase at all, lol. IP: Logged |
