I like the way the pump and motor are painted on the Bennett. I think something is being lost with everyone gutting their pumps. (Besides extra weight)

Sinclair made a lot of different cans, globes and signs. It is easy for a new collector to find nice items in all price ranges from this company

Another old sign. I assume the lamps burning referes to carbide lights on old cars?



Covey was another company Sinclair bought out



There are a couple signsthat are duel branded, Sinclair and Goodyear



The red pricer sign



Three diffferent flange signs



Credit card application form holder

Sinclair had two main types or grades of oil, Opaline and Pennsylvania. There are cans and signs in several different sizes and designs. The two signs at the bottom of the picture are 16 inch. They also had 12, 24 and 30









A safety sign. The number of accident free days could be put in the slots

Maybe Sinclair, maybe not?



Barge operator directions





Here is one you do not see very often. An unopened box of Sinclair vertical strip signs. Believed to be three cookie cutter signs. NOS. The signs are ink stamped with grandpas bulk plant on the back. Maybe the rare never seen Sinclair Aircraft signs?

I have a couple more pictures left in no real order.

Letters claimed to have been taken off of a Sinclair office building



This held cards with customers info on them. The stations could use it to call up Mrs Jones when her car needed an oil change



A home made sign from some old station



Sinclair also bought out Prairie Oil Company

Here is an old Sinco can



Imperial gallon. Sinclair had sales in several countries overseas



Acouple Iowa Gas finds one year



I only ever saw three signs like this. There is a section on the top that never had porcelain on it. All the ones I saw like this had the blank section. I assume it was for a station specific name to be added in by the dealer? I took mine to a local sign painter and had dads name put in the blank



An old Missouri license plate. In Ohio, ARCO bought out Sinclair and used some of the same type "pump plates"

Dad checking out a sign



Tough to find coupons sign



Part of the enjoyment of collecting petro is setting up a nice place to display it. This is a before picture



A get ready picture picture



A during shot





It will never be done but you get the idea. I have a small display. A lot of stuff packed into a small area. I have seen some collections just being piles of signs and stuff and some fantastic displays.
