Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Showcase and Stories, Petroliana BOTW: "BUYS OF THE WEEK!" APRIL 14th - 20th, 2014

THANKS EVERYONE!

Had a great week. Picked up a very clean Firestone curb sign...(need a base if anyone has one)

Next is a seldomly seen AC spark plug clock. It was dirty when I got it but after taking it all apart..she cleaned up nice.

Last but not least...is proof that this stuff still exists in the wild. After randomly speaking with a gentlmen at a flea market about a month ago...we talked about my collection for a while. He told me he had a sign in his basement that he got from his grandparent's house when they sold it 20 years ago. He remembered it sitting there as long as he could remember when he was younger. As with most stories I dismissed it until I got a call this week. When I walked in I couldnt believe it. This GMC sign is almost perfect! I doubt it was ever used. Crazy but here's proof to never give up.

Happy Easter Oldgas land! Here is my botw. Keep them coming!

I did a little horse tradin with Matt Alverez over the weekend and came up with the shell pp and Hancock pump door. Thanks again Matt!

Dragged this out of a barn Saturday. It was filthy from sitting uncovered since 1981 the owner said.
One of the nicest pumps I have found in a long time.

I picked up a few items. I got this rack, the Mobil can, and the Penn can all from the same collection. Finally, I also picked up the Shell cans from a show last Sunday but did not get to post.

Sweet Skelly Score!
These were found locally.They have been on the ground up against an old shop building for the last 25 years.Cleaned up nicely.I remember the local Skelly station these were mounted on.

Hello All,
Besides my Mobiloil Marine can the other highlight of my week is this Hi-Speed globe. It's the first "speed line" Hi-Speed in my collection. Maybe I'll find the Ethyl to go with it someday, but you don't see Hi-Speed globes very often.

Racecop and I picked up a few pumps this week and I also got this Sinclair sign.

Red head globe..........sweet!

Great stuff so far Guys. Bought these from a private party. The globe he bought in 1965.

Couple of buys from the last few weeks

Bought these a while ago, but were delivered this week. A little target practiced, but.... And, thanks, Eric, for making my little Firestone feel like the ugly duckling. Seriously, what did you think the chances of seeing two of these this week were?

Dave...now that is too funny, long lost brothers. Not an easy sign to find.
