Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Showcase and Stories, Petroliana BOTW: "BUYS OF THE WEEK!" - APRIL 2ND TO THE 8TH.

Here's a neat Shell porcelain Tokheim Interceptor Tara got on eBay. It should be a fun and easy project, just needs some touchup, cleaning, and polishing (and some plastic Shell pump plates). Date is 1958. Anyone know if they repro the TCP decals?





Here's some lenses and a map from eBay:

Here are some Sinclair glasses Tara's been wanting for a while now, with original box too.

Saw those DX lenses and wondered if you would make a go at them. Nice find!

I think those glasses came out about 1990-91 as I bought a set from a staion in Colorado in that time frame.

tara... just don't run them glasses through the dishwasher.. will fade them labels sooner than later...

Thanks Bill, I couldn't pass them up.

The glasses should be from 1991 I believe. I wonder if Sinclair will do anything for their 100th... Only 9 years away - I hope they're still around then.

Should have read the box and I would have know 1991 was the actual date. I was just taking a guess.

I knew the glasses weren't old - I just like them. Don't worry, they won't be going through the dishwasher. They'll be for display only, until I get some more to use. I only bid on the interceptor pump because it was an absolute steal and located about 3 hours from my parents' house. Luckily, I have the best dad in the world, and he went to pick it up for us. :-)

hope he had help tara... even them little pumps are pretty heavy....

Here is the double I found in a barn 8 miles from my house. Complete pump missing no parts, even the nozels are here, and original blue tinted glass etched cylinders, sure is nice to haul something a short distance.

And here is the Erie 100 I picked up yesterday
