Good afternoon. We purchased our home and as part of that purchase I secured these items as well as some additional. I am not familiar with the items and was hoping to get some information. My initial thoughts were that the two larger items are not original but am not sure. I look forward to anything you can share.

You have some cool items that came with your house. The two square pieces you are inquiring about are oil dispensers, commonly called lubesters. They would be filled with oil and if a customer wanted a quart of oil, the gas station would fill up a glass quart oil bottle by pumping oil out of the lubester. Sometimes they would have racks of pre-filled oil bottles, usually between the gas pumps for customers to buy as well or near the front entrance to the gas station. The two lubesters ARE original, they were just restored (repainted) a while ago to make them look good.

The signs on the exterior wall are neat, however they are all reproduction signs.

The oil can collection is neat as well, all of those cans are unfortunately not high dollar cans, but make a cool display. Each of those cans range from about $35-80 USD. The globe is most likely a reproduction.

Lastly the white Gulf panel appears to be the panel off of a gas pump. Probably a 1970’s era pump.
