No IG here.

Just a couple of cheapie cans from one estate sale.


And this Bennett parts pump from CL. The sheetmetal is straight, especially the one door.

Picked up this NOS Ford Sign. it is 5'11" X 4'

I've been seeing some of these Lubri-Loy cans around,and they all were in good shape! Well i found the source this weekend and i bought them all. The old guy had a garage back in the 50's and had cases stored in his basement, Quarts, Pints and 4oz sise. Here's a photo of the three size cans and one of the boxes. I may have to thin some out! LOL

I picked up a Senator Terry Carpenter can. Carpenter was a Nebraska and US Senator beginning in the 30s and into the 70s. He owned a refinery and several filling stations in Scottsbluff and founded the town of Terry Town in 1949.


Thanks,
Rod van Pelt
