Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Showcase and Stories, Petroliana Collectables of the Week- Toy Gas Pumps and Stations

Here is a photo of a set of coffee mugs shaped like gas pumps. I have never seen another set. Someone got me these as a gift a few years back. If you can see - one is regular 'gas' and the other is 'decaf' gas.

Included in this shot are a couple of the 1:34 scale visibles that have been given to me over the years. People who know I collect gas pumps think that they have found the 'greatest thing since sliced bread' when they stumble accross these little pumps. They are unaware that there are dozens of these available everywhere - so they get them for me.

This shot is part of my collection of Hallmark Kiddie Car Classics. There is also a drive-in and various road signs, more pedal cars, etc. If you can see - the red gas pump globe actually lights up! There is also a lubester with a pull handle and wheels, a tire display, a lube rack complete with a tool box that has a lift-off tray with tools in it and various signs.

Ok guys, here's some of my stuff. Since I collect cookie jars, my collection just wouldn't be complete without a gas pump cookie jar.

The next thing I have here is my Polly Gas gumball machine. The kids have fun with this at our summer party. It takes any coin up to a quarter and gives you anywhere from one to five gumballs at a time. (Just depends how special you are apparently)

Now, this last one is my pride and joy. Buying this was actually Jim's idea and when we got it, I took it over for my collection of Franklin Mint die cast Corvette models (sorry, honey). The globe lights up as well as the inside display area. There's glass on three sides and a mirror down the back. I have my Corvettes on all the shelves except the bottom one which has one of Shirley Muldowney's drag car models and our oldest boy also has one of his race car models down there. It's hard to tell in the picture, but mixed in among the models are gas pumps of various sizes and shapes - these are Jim's. He's been nice enough to let me display them with my models - they look pretty cool scattered among the cars. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, this is the only life-size gas pump allowed in the house. Sorry guys.



I know none of these were actually "toys", but I thought they would fit fairly well in this category. Keep posting everyone - these collections are fun to look at.

Hi Everyone...This is some shots of the shelf above my computer ..its about ten feet long and about 4 inches wide. i think the old gal we bought our House from used it to display collector plates but when I moved in it became the classic car gas opump shelf...go figure , huh.

Here's a set of old cast lead gas pumps still in the original box.
Here's a tin toy from the 1950's one of the globes is missing. Other than that, it's near mint.
A tin tanker, Marx gas island with light up globes.
This tin Wyandotte "Day and Night" station is a hard one to find ! Art Deco design, cars came with the set.
