We’re still digging into the history of the garage. These were all stored together. I’ve been finding items from Shell, 76, Mobil, Texaco and more—there’s quite a bit to sort through. I’m new to Petroliana and still learning, and was hoping to get some insight on age and approximate value. I included photos of the cans along with the original box. I’ve seen individual cans online, but haven’t come across a full set like this with the box intact. I’d appreciate any insight.
