Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Archives of the best of past topics Best of Shop Talk Picture of the Day

A few weeks ago I said something about posting some of the many pictures I have. These photos are interesting, but not enough to write an article about. I will try to post one each day, but if I don't, just hang in there.

Since we get so many questions about "How do I paint my Pump?" I thought this would be a great picture to start with. It was on the cover of Petroleum Marketer Magazine, March 1935. I never had an original, just this photo-copy. The next time someone asks the question, just refer them to this picture.

Now I understand how all those brush strokes got on my pump. Thanks for the insight. It's easy to get paint out of a 1 gallon can, you just pour out a little on the brush. A lot less mess of course. Ha Ha.
