I bought all of these items from a man 2 minutes from my house that I always wanted to stop by bc he had a 48 Ford convertible street rod, so I was just curious to see if he had any petro items. Well his garage and car burned to the ground this week and some guys at work knew him pretty well so I got in contact with him. The Eco was original Gulf paint and the Valvoline Rack were both in the garage. I guess I learned my lesson it always pays to stop when you have a hunch. The guys at work said he had over 50 pumps, 400 plus cans, and signs galore.

Most pumps are Salvageable even after a fire. Go back & check before they are all scrapped.

I got all the pumps he had left too just didn't upload the pictures. I made extra sure I bought every item that was petro related he had. Turned out to be a gold mine for me but if only I had gone there before the fire.

IF you had gone Before the fire, he probably wouldn't have sold anything, that's why he had so much.
A Devastating Fire like that takes the collecting bug w/ it.

that orange crush sign with "crushy" on it is a jewel, the stuff with crushy on it is hard to find. great score by the way, i wish the circumstances of the fire were different.

Nice finds, unfortunate about the fire and kinda sad that he gave up collecting.
