Man told me this was a Mobil cabinet used to store oil in the 20's. I cannot find any names on this. I'll have better pictures when I can get a hand unloading it. Stands about 7 foot tall and has doors on two sides. There are no shelves inside but you can see where they attached on the inside walls. PM with offers. I am about 20 miles from Iowa Gas.

From what I can tell from the pictures, it does look like a Mobil oil cabinet.

Its a Mobil cabinet alright! I just bought one for $500 with 2 repop signs and a repop globe on it. Tough to find one with the original signs because they are worth more than the cabinet!

Yeah this is for sure. I've seen the sign on the right in the picture above go for $500+ in various conditions.

I believe this cabinet also had a porcelain sign instead of a globe in some northern states.
