Picked up this nice Autolite battery rack that I committed to buy back in January. He arrived back from Florida recently and I went and picked it up. While I was there I saw this neat Rochester Carbureter sign as well.
Attended an auction and picked up this other cool Fre-Flo Rubberset sign. Barn_Raider you need this in your General store!

Took a chance on ebay. Seller with zero feedback in PA. Only one picture of the front with a buy it now. Shipped out of Anaheim CA. I guess grandpa had it in the garage for decades. Was covered in grime that cleaned off well.

Picked this up a while ago but just recently got it linen mounted, it was very thin, can't imagine many survived. I was told it was found behind a wall of a house in Spokane last year. it's about 6' by 4'.  Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I have not posted my buys in quite awhile. Here are my buys from the past few weeks.  All cans are new & the bullseye lens is from a fellow old gasser. Power X is a single lens from another oldgasser.  I think these cans got more expensive when the dealer at the flea market set them on his table & I about knocked over a roseville vase trying to grab them I was so excited to see two very early vaccuum oil quarts. 
Got Socony???

My "new" BOTW are pretty weak compared to the gorgeous signs you folks have been collecting. As Thunder said, if one comes to my house they can be a kid again. I have oil company comic books, activity books, toy trucks, cars and airplanes. I have coloring books..Oil Company knives for Mumblety-peg games.... but I didn't have any marbles until now....
