What ever you do, don't "Clutter " it to the point where it looks "Junky" . I have seen that in doing so called "Restored stations and it serves NO PURPOSE WHAT so ever . Set a theme , in you're case , Phillips Oil . Gather everthing you can for an EARLY phillips retail outlet and do yer homework as to color . If yer not sure , ask one of us here .

I agree the lubster fits & the pump,the transfer cans belong on a bulk truck. Only thing your short out front is water bucket and one more pump. Lubster was stored a lot of times against front wall. But what do I know as that station is way before my time. Colors can't help you with.
Will this stuff not be stolen if its not bolted down,I hope not.

o ya please help me ! lol, i have no clue what to do, but i must say its a mix of stuff and it will stay that way , the only reason it has a 66 sine is that it was a 66 station when it was in use, the in side is going to be all oil and gas related showcase...

The globe is from Standard Oil, and I see several Atlas items inside the building which was Standard oil products. Also, the transfer can on the left is a Standard Oil can, not sure of the others. Just glad to see another old station being preserved.

Inventory everything first of course. If you are using a 'mix of stuff' why not put them in different sections (if there is room) with a blurb about each group with maybe some photos (like a pic of a bulk truck to lead any group into gas station history, rather then them just seeing a bunch of assorted stuff.
If you want to give visitors an 'experience' perhaps keep the stuff that's a certain era? Just a suggestion...
Don't forget that 'yard' art.

I built an old style station in 1980 at our steam / tractor show grounds. It gets lots of attention at show times, especially with the antique car buffs for photo ops. If interested, google "Portersville Steam Show" and take a look. Maybe get some ideas. Sam

Lubster is the container with pump on top. Transfer cans are to the left in your pick out front. Looks like you have 1 ten gallon and 2 five gallon. They were used to transfer heating oil to homes etc. The tanker truck would make calls just like the milk man brought the milk when I was a kid.
Hope this helps you.Its going to be really neat when your done. As if it isn't neat already,I like it.

Chris, dig up old photos on this site of stations in real life at the time. You'll soon get ideas as to how you'd like to see it done. Don't be in a big hurry. I received many free donations for the station at our yearly shows. Thus it brought on some "local character" from local folks! Sam

Figure out what era you want to replicate and go from there. This thread ( Great Old Pics ) has lots of pictures of old stations back in the day and would be a great source of information (plus is just plain neat to go through). I look forward to seeing it!

Lubester is a Slang Name given to Oil Dispenser Pumps mounted to self contained tanks by Newbies!
ROMAN refers to WAYNE's Ionic 1924 pump,
Punkin Head refers to pumps w/ a round head ie; BOWSER 300, DAYTON 900 & WAYNE 800's.
Air Head refers to Metered Air Dispensing Equipment [& some members here!].

I like the look of green roof,but the white will be cooler as far as temps inside. I would think the green would fade quickly with the sun beating down on it.
Isn't Mr. Sams station neat he shared his site with me about a year ago,I still enjoy every time I pull it up and take a peek.

What are your plans during show time as for vehicles? A Ford "A" or "T" or vintage motorcycle always sets a station off nicely.

Just a sample of old autos that "stop in" at my station at show times. They can make the scene realistic. Sam
 1918 Locomobile that drove into our show un-announced! Everyone enjoyed it.

Looks really good! At first when you said you were painting the columns orange, I was kinda skeptical. The black trim really did the trick. Nice job.

Chris, you have done a remarkable job on the station in a very short amount of time...You should be very proud of your accomplishments...
I for one, commended you for your diligence...
I hope you and others will keep working on the station.... Hopefully new items will be donated and possibly rotated in and out of the station....
