 Good evening everyone. Well, being cotm is almost over, I thought I would let you folks know who was behind the scenes this month. Some of you will remember this post a few years ago under "my 15 minutes of fame" thread. This was an article the Saskatoon Star Phoenix did of me about two and a half years ago. Click on the thumbnail, then click on the picture again and it will enlarge to read it better. Enjoy. [This message has been edited by Ken Bird (edited 05-29-2007).] IP: Logged |

Good job Ken..........I enjoyed learning more about British American Oil. Was wondering if you ran across any connection between B/A and Socony. I have this small celluloid-backed hand mirror........

Hey Richard, Well, the only connection that I have found between B/A and SCONY is that Albert Ellsworth who founded B/A, worked for Standard Oil Co. out of Buffalo N.Y. for a few years before he started out on his own. Just a coincidense? I can't find anything else to connect the two, maybe someone else may know? Ken. IP: Logged |

Good evening everyone. I guess this is the last day for cotm, and I just wanted to say thanks for all the nice comments and for the pictures, stories and information that was directed my way. I had a blast doing it, I hope it wasn't too boring with the history or the pictures of my collection, other than a few pictures that members sent, I didn't have any thing else to show. I do believe that Wes is up next,starting tomorrow ,good luck Wes and have fun! Ken. IP: Logged |

Hi all. I was talking to Alex Colwell about the cotm, and he had mentioned a gentleman by the name of Doug Hand who had helped him with his web site and the history of British American Oil, a big "Thank You" goes out to these two people from me, because if it were not for these two men, I wouldn't have been able to do this.
