relooked at the pic it looks a little rougher in the pic than it is. of course the top is bent and of course rusted, but the spots on the rest of it is like a sticker or something (like they changed brands and put the new "flavor" over the old sign). could prbably be removed but I am too chicken to try fixed the pic problem pretty quick but you beat me to it

The Platolene sign is killer!!! and I imagine super rare. It's the first one I've ever seen in that size.
Oh and welcome to this great website.
Take care, Jerry

Welcome to the site. I especially like the Willard Battery display. The Platolene sign doesn't show up all that often, so great finds.

Picture #4 is not an oil pump, it is a grease dispenser, probably a Bennett.

Welcome aboard. Lots of goodies you have. Space, budget and a spouse can be very restrictive on all our collections. But we can quit anytime we want to! Right after that next find. Mike

thanks for the heads up on the grease dispenser. any more info or pics? really starting to turn my head. I thought of it as rusty junk that someone might want, and know It's growing on me.
The sign caught my eye pretty quick, I already got offered $150 on another sight but I said no because it is local history and belonged to my friends family

For a replacement grease barrel, stop @ your local Quicky Lube [PENNZOIL/TEXACO etc] & ask for an empty 1/4 barrel, they'll probably give it to you for asking.

I've always been on a budget myself so I know you're pain but still I manage. You just have to work at it a little harder, always keep vigil on "potentials". I have a number of people who have worked with me over time to thank and I'm quite proud of what I have managed. As Bob noted, I think the battery cables wall display is pretty neat. Welcome to our little piece of heaven and the madness that takes hold of you!
