I had a fun week I was able to pick up the gas station I purchased last week. I would like to say a big THANKS to Matt Alvarez for helping me pick it up. I don’t think he realized what he signed up for until the guy opened the storage container, and all I heard Matt say was “Holy Cr*p” ..LOL. It was a long day, but I think we both had fun.

Here are my buys for this past week. Killer stuff Dennis! Keep them coming!

Thanks Ron. The station was advertized as a 10 x 10 x12, but it acually measured 17 x 12 x 14' tall. Because it was a prefab station I can reconfigure to 13 x 8 x 10' 10" which will be a better size for my yard. I keep calling Matt to see if he will help me put it together and he won't return my calls...Don't know why.. grin


Kim the G&B top hat was a nice find..you don't see those to often.
Found a 42 inch red crown



And a mobil can or pail I have never seen before

I like the no fishing or "wimmin" sign! LOL
Slim pickins in the Magnolia state lately. 30" DSP.

took my trailer on a road trip last weekend and came home with a whole mess of goodies.

My favorites are the Weaver automatic brake testers (kinda like mini-visibles), Flying A battery rack, & Koolmotor globe (one that I've been wanting to pull the trigger on for a long time)

Who was Rota Zol anyway ?
Southern Oil Co of NY.
Rotary was the brand name. Rota Zol was a Benzol blend fuel.
Great globes Bob!
Thanks Kevin.

Thank you for the Roto Zol details !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I liked the Rota Zol lens so much I got these gill lenses too.
It looks like they used the same size artwork on both the 15" and 13 1/2" lenses. Note the wide white border on the 15" lens in the previous post.

Wow Bob....those are great too! You got the market cornered on that brand. Terrific!

Okay, I'll ask. Why the question mark on the lens?
They used a globe just like it without the "?" too.
I don't know what the "?" denotes on the lenses.

Those gill rotazols were found on a blue ripple on eBay several years ago...
Picked up this s/s 42" Red Crown at Pate.
