Contacted and reported.

I would love to see the photos they have of:
"We have also been able to find photos of these same style bottles in the collections of some very knowledgeable Texaco collectors."

Message and photo I just got from seller:

"Hi Mike, I have been researching these all day. One of these from the collection of Don Bruce was sold at auction in Canada. Another was sold thru a Kovel auction. I've attached a picture from the auction in Canada. I'm not a subscriber to Kovel so I can't get any more info from them. The bottom of the bottle has the number 1028 and a symbol that I can't identify. I may be mistaken but I think this dates the bottle to 1928 which would be about the right age. I've also asked several people to tell me or show me the reference that they are using to determine if this is real or not and no one has responded with anything other than because they haven't ever seen one. If you can help I will be more than happy to add that info to the sale. Thanks, Pat"
