A project for another day. Drywall looks nice but it can be a pain to hang a heavy sign on. Hope to do the pine boards here one day too

Wes I knew you had a lot of stuff but wow is all I got. Thanks to everyone posting so far what a great thread this has been for the last three months. No bickering just great people showing great stuff keep it up.


Originals only for me. Always looking for Simpson oil, Super A, and MFA oil cans and globes.

Randy, that is one RARE & KILLER sign and in EXCELLENT condition. Never seen that sign before. Your sign has a longer neck, 4 groments vs. 6, tail spacing between banner, white border vs. black border, and more...

There is a difference. Are both these signs original?

Couple more pictures to post ths afternoon

A Bennett 700 series pump



One way to display pumps, make a 2x4 frame



Wire it up for power



Paint it, set the pumps on it and run the power cord for the pump lights straight down and plug it into the receptacle in the base. The pump will sit higher than it would sit on the floor, sort of like as if it was on a pump island

Back side of a"sign" that was used in a wall



Front side. Dad had his Amish neighbor make a frame for this out of some wood from an old cherry tree that grew on the old farmstead. Not sure if grandpa ate the cherry and planted the seed or not



A Bennett double



Some pump faces from a newer chrome era pump

An original aircraft globe that was all washed out. A guys mom repainted it a few years ago.



An original globe body with a decal on it. Sinclair used several different decal'd bodies in the early days



A nice clean etched Gasoline. There were also baked versions as well as baked and etched Oils and three piece Gasolines



A NOS baked HC, they dont get any nicer than this one

National had Sinclair addglass in some of it's A-38 pumps. They made HC and Power X versions, possibly others. The chalk board on the wall was used at grandpas old bulk plant to leave messages for people in the days before two way radios and cell phones



The can in the center is made out of a treated cardboard, probably made during WWII. One would think there would also be a Pennsylvania version of it out there too





Macaroni checking out the shine



Grease cans
