Was gonna put this in the BOTW, but I wss too early for Doc so here we are anyway. Pull into the hardware store parking lot and see a pickup with a lubester in the back. Was gonna pass it by...don't really need another one. But...I had to check it, lo and behold it's an OLD Linco oil dispenser. You just don't see very many of these early Marathon dispensers pop up. So I wait out in the parking lot for him to come out, ask if it's for sale. He says yep, make me an offer. I gave him a fair offer..he says fine and I'll even deliver it for you.

Has a lot of grime on it but I can see the red paint underneath. Pump works fine, he was using it for his waste oil. I'll get it cleaned up and put in my lineup tomorrow. You just never know where you're gonna run across this stuff. Now he says he'll keep a lookout for all gas stuff and call me when he sees it.
