I was wondering if there were any books out there about dates and stuff

In my "Library"; besides the different specific Oil Company Collector's Guides.

I also have "American Oil Cans" Vol 1 by Tom and Susan Allen. "Collecting Oil Cans" and "More Oil Cans" both by W.Clark Miller and Sabra Sonewald...

Plus, A number of years worth of issues: Of PCM (Petroleum Collectibles Magazine), CTO (Check The Oil Magazine) and Tiger Hightest Magazine...

The Oil Can Guides do give a general idea of when a can was produced and used... The Magazines at times also give dates, but IMO, they offer more of a "general History" behind the Oil Company's that used the cans, which I find more enlightening...

Ah!! I see I see. Are the magazines still made? Or no I've googled most the cans I have or the brand and I can't find much..

PCM:

http://pcmpublishing.com/

CTO:

http://checktheoilmagazine.com/index.html


IMO, both Magazines are well worth their subscription prices...

PS: occasionally on Oldgas, Members will offer their past issues... Such as this For Sale ad:

Also on Ebay, past issues of PCM, CTO and even Tiger Hightest are regularly offered up for auction... Along with Mobilia...(one of my past favorites)...

Thank you! That will help me a bunch! I won't be such a newbie at cans anymore haha.

Petroleum Collectibles Magazine [monthly=12] & Check The Oil [by-monthly=6]are still currently being published. Tiger Hightest Magazine, no.
Check oldgas book store or amazon/ebay for printed books.
