Hi all, new member here from NJ. Picked up this Texaco Oil sample kit. Has anyone ever seen one like it? Value? All the bottles and jars are full except one. There is a tractor repair & maintenance booklet inside dated 1938. It doesn't really look like it belongs, but it fits perfectly in the pocket. Also, the fellow I got this from had 2 of them (wish I'd bought them both) and they each had the same booklet inside. It was found in an old Texaco station in Bridgeton, NJ. Thanks in advance for any help. --Ed

Hi

I have the exact same kit with a better case. I don't put values on items. But if I was trying to sell mind, I would try to get around $175.00-$200.00 for it.

Texaco made a variety of sample cases. This may have been one for Farm/Agricultural purposes. I have seen them with many bottles and jars and some with a few. Blacktee is in the ballpark on value in my opinion.

I wish Mine had a case I have a set of standard oil samples and two very old Sinclair samples were thrown in. I can't find ANYTHING about. But your set looks awesome!
