Well, I guess I'll start things off...

I picked up this here plaque:



It's basically a tin sign on a medium-dark 1/4" thick piece of wood. Anyone ever seen one? Where was it used? I was thinking maybe it attached to one of those thermometers?
Could it be from the back of a can, and someone mounted it this way?

I had a busy but good week. Picked up a real odd Milwaukee Tank Clockface Pump in great condition. It's a Cut 481 "Mil-O-Meter" as shown in Jack's book on page 219.


Also got a bunch of metal quart cans, big cans,a near mint Skelly tomstone sign that is different on each side, and a nice die-cut Havoline flange sign dated 1935.

Hi Doc,

Here is a pump I bought over the phone and got it cheap. The seller didn't even bother to mention it had two original pump plates on it. Ted
