Some Sinclair banners



From an old pump?



The 70 getting put back together







Plastic and metal banks. I gave away a few of the plastic ones, may get someone else into the hobby

Painted with a globe on it. I am trying to find some add glass for it other than Power X or HC. Does anyone have original stuff for a 70 or repo it?



Flag not touching



This Gasoline sign one was at Peotone once. John had it if I recall, then Butch got it then i ended up with it at Columbus one year



A couple fellow Sinclair collectors on the right. It's good to know people that collect the same stuff as you do

One that got away. Not enough cash on hand at Iowa





Bought this at Iowa as it was being unloaded. I know it is foreign, not sure if it is real or not.



From Grandpas bulk plant







A 48 inch oils. Never saw another one. The 48 inch gasolines do show up.



At least three different Ethyls similar this

Some people put tape on the lenses to keep them from moving when transporting globes





Curb sign base. I have seen several Sinclair oils bases, do not recall seeing a Sinclair gasoline base



The mens sign is not Sinclair, think it is Associated



Parco was another company that Sinclair bought out. There was a big refinery in Parco Wyoming and the town was renamed to Sinclair when they were bought out. I was at the refinery once in about 2005 when dad, my brother and his son and I were on a road trip to Salt Lake City to pick up a pair of tripple check signs



A ladies rest room sign, I have two, would trade one for a mens sign

15 inch HC on metal.



Making a new globe shelf


Wire it up



Hang it on the wall. (Make sure you do not drill into the wiring behind the pine boards when you go to put up the brackets or you will get sparks and an outlet that no longer works, so I am told...)




Put them up and light em up!

A liter can from Germany. I saw a matching sign once on ebay with this logo.



Sinclair had a lot of different things in it's day and a lot of nice stuff can be found. Almost every show has cans, signs and globes for sale. You just need to step up to the plate on the better stuff



My gasoline sign on display the day I bought it from Butch. Butch is a good guy to have in the hobby





Glass panels for an oil can rack



Pairs are nice



NOS in the box



Plastic with sticky tape on the back. Probably used ona station window.



Made a frame for it and lit it up
