My first post; I have this ancient "Penn-Rad" oil can/oiler (I hope the pic I UBB'd came through), the oldest can ever of my humble collection. Anyone have any insight as to app what date this would be from? Was Penn-Rad affiliated with Pennzoil? Just curious.
**Shameless namedrop: I'm from Seattle and a friend of DJHubba's..
-Thanks,
Eric bb23@galaxy-7.net

Welcome to Old gas Eric, If you want to make any friends around here you can't go around telling people that you are a friend of Hubba's!!!!
Hubba is the guy that wears the pink To-Tos and does unthinkable things for silver bullets, now do you want us to think that you are %#*^#@$%#@ also?
Just kidding, any friend of Hubba's is a friend of ours also!!
Again welcome to Old gas! Will you be going down to Fred's for the gas bash?

Eric ...thanks for the compliments on my collection but it pales in comparison to many...I do what I can to add to it and hunting fro this stuff is all I think about..well..that and Girls..oh wait ..food too...oh and silver bullets...LOL. ok, ok , tattoos and Music too...and old cars...LOL.... I dont know an exact age on your can but if I had to guess I would guess mid 30's to early 40's. I am not sure how desireable the embossed bulk containers are ..like anything...if you find the right person it will do great. I have had some Texaco embossed bulk swing arm containers in the past that did well on ebay...but as we all know ebay is hit or miss. If its a keeper..enjoy it..if its for sale...Good luck my friend.

ahhh..not that "ancient" then..oh well, that's cool, it's part of my collection now.
Could someone post a link to more info on Fred's bash? I've been itching to do the fabled I-5/101 California road trip again (though born and bred in Seattle, I lived in San Luis Obispo a few year back--Cal Poly)and love that area...good excuse to drag my girly along for a road trip, she actually appreciates oldgas stuff..imagine that! (said girly also branded by hubba!) But I'm sure that's a whole other post topic.
Eric
PS. Not nearly as cool as my '32 Penn Franklin then eh?

Now were talking Buddy..that Penn Franklin quart makes my Blood flow...Just think of how many tattoos I would give you for that old junky can...LOL. If you can do the road trip ...Freds shouldnt be missed my friend...always a great time. Lots of vendors ...food...beer...wine...and oil can car races ( races with homemade cars made out of old oilcans) WHAT A BLAST. He doesnt have a website but its on oldredwood HWY In Santa Rosa...cant miss it,....I am at work but call me tomorrow at the house for an address. Whoohooo
