Fantastic work as always. I also really appreciate that its a piece shrouded in Canadianity. Have to preserve those ones!

The original poster above had an eBay asking price of $2,499.99 for a better condition example of this can. The auction was taken down because of the old "the item is no longer available" line. John

Benjamin said his knowledgeable buddy was going to but haven't seen any..

Looking for info on this company

It’s a Wayne 615.

Shoot I need one front

Thanks @RandyM . Truly its a good price

That pump is a GOC pump. That means it was made by Gilbarco specifically for Gulf Oil. Gulf had an architect design the pump, then hired several manufacturers to build the pumps to their specs. A practice they started in the early 30s, and went on until the 80s. Your pump is most likely a mid to late 40s model and most likely saw service through the 50s and maybe into the 60s if it was at a low volume station.

Still looking. Anyone have any in their collection?

Hi Ron, do you have Bowser 97 Bonnets by chance? I placed an order today with you but think I forgot to ask about the 97's. Thank you

Well, I got some more pictures, and it was made by a local sign shop here in Butte. Can see the lines. I told the owners that not being an "official" sign it is not as valuable, but may have value from a local interest, etc. Doing research as to what was in that building prior to current and last occupants.

I have more pic if needed....

Sorry Cak929 I’m not showing a PM sent

Good Evening from soggy WI.

I am in need of the following MS 70 parts:

2 original sight glasses and the aluminum mounting brackets that hold the spinners in place

Cross member that attaches to all four legs and forms the mounting surface for the VR.

ANY HELP APPRECIATED. My contact number is in my profile.

Thanks Neil

Full Payless quart.

Great info, Randy. Think that’s the first I’ve heard of Continuous Oil.

And thank you other Randy for the pic, beautiful can! I need one of those for my NJ collection 😅

The more I look into it, the more it seems the two companies may have offered Valvoline products during the same time period…so I guess that makes Edgewater a subsidiary or a distributor of sorts for Valvoline Oil Company at one point in time. Diving a little deeper, I think Edgewater may have had a hand (using the access to international waters their location provided) to help move and sell Valvoline’s products abroad as I’ve turned up Valvoline cans using the Edgewater company’s name in a couple different countries.

I guess that’d make me mostly curious as to when that relationship started and when that ended, would be useful in understanding the timeline/role and help date some cans and signs. Thanks guys!
