Just my two cents: There are enough Dads (and moms in come cases) that are into the hobby that will no doubt bring their children up into the hobby. What kid doesnt want to be just like their dad or mom, no matter how crazy they may be. Heck my 5 and 6 year girls love Texaco and Shell, they love it so much the top of their list christmas item was a green texaco shirt complete with a bow-tie and patch. Aside from this Petroliana will never die, it will just continue to modify itself and new and different things will become collectable, the case of the blend pump is a great example! The Eighties style Texaco round light-up sign! Cardboard quart cans! and many other examples.
My philosphy, grab it all, store it and see what happens, if nothing else you will be remembered as that crazy guy who collected junk and really I think we are all little off our rocker! At least I know I am, wait until the middle of the month and I will post pictures of what my family and I are trying to acquire (A Pertolinia / CITY oasis not far from the Seattle summer drive!!)
