Hello all, Like most on this site I am a fan of petroliana and automobilia (actually I am a fan of most things old).
One of my current interests is the brass era cars (a photo of one of them is attached).
My dad and his brothers had an Esso station in the late 50s and 60s. I have a few items left from their station and plan to restore them for my garage. I hope to start on one of the old gas pumps this spring. I think it is some model of Gilbarco, but I have not researched the pump yet.
Looking forward to learning and participating. - Bob

Thanks, appreciate the welcomes.
Kevin: Maybe I will run into in the area sometime. I just got the interest to start collecting the petroliana items to go with some of my automobilia which I keep in the garage.
I can see this could get to be addictive. I saw a pair of 40s/50s rolling grease and oil units on craigslist today and went and picked them up tonight.

Welcome. There are far worse addictions. At least the next day after getting fixed you still have something to show for it.

Hudson and the surrounding area is a really nice place. Thats a nice website you have. I'm almost ashamed to say it, but I have never been able to find the spare time to make it to Hershey. Plan to soon...
