Hello, I have 3 bottles I got from a friend who finds Petroliana for me. I know nothing about these and was wondering about value and collectability? Any help would be appreciated.

I know Sunoco bottles like this will sell in the $50-$85 range. Not sure if these are more rare or not. Hope that helps a bit.

Wow, that WAVERLY is terrific!. I have a few sets of salesman samples. I think the common ones “ archer” etc...go really reasonably (I have seen whole sets for well under $100). The more scarce ones such as STERLING, WAVERLY, FREEDOM etc....I definitely think to the right collector are worth in the $50 to $100 range per 6” bottle.

Found this one a little over a year ago . Hard to find them complete . Missing the grease containers that I haven’t found. Yet original bottle’s and case in mint condition . Still hoping to locate the grease containers .

These came from a local estate sale in Tulsa from the DX refinery. Sealed with a cork then a wax seal stamped with "TULSA".
