I started off by collecting Kansas license plates as a 12 year old. I've always loved anything old or rusty and my collecting really began with my dad who also collected license plates. After I finished 3 complete collections of Kansas license plates from the first issue up until modern day I wanted to begin to start something new. While on vacation when I was 14 years old I came upon an old Texaco porcelain sign at an antique store, I bought it and from there my Petroliana collecting has sky rocketed. It's my passion now and there is nothing else I would rather collect than pumps, signs, etc...
