Picked up the G&B 86 top at Escalon and the Flying A from ebay. I took a chance on the sign, it had one bad picture. I got it for a good price.
I likeShell

Items I got at the Mike Rhein collection auction. Mike had some clean great items and his wife ellyn let me know she will be going to Iowa Gas with more of Mike's items per his wishes so please stop by and give her your best when there!! First time I have ever come across an original Pure Oil pride tire and Mike had one new in the wrapper. Wish I could thank his for the great items!!
Thanks Mike

I had a great weekend. I sold a large pile of stuff at an auction out of town on Saturday and spent all of the money made on just three items. The Buffalo tin bought at the auction was darn expensive and filthy but after 6 hours of cleaning it was worth it. Also happy with the two other items bought separately from two good buddies. The William Penn one pound grease is an upgrade to the one that I have had for about 20 years. I just never see them and this is one is new old stock. Cheers, Don.

Gotta ask Don, what did you use to clean the Buffalo Oil can? It looks fantastic.

I use a number of cleaners depending what sort of results I am getting. I did put some motor oil on to soften the caked on oil, letting it sit overnight. Also worked on it with WD40, Citra-solv and white hand cleaner, but not the stuff with the grit in it. As soon as the cloth gets soiled you have to use a clean spot on the cloth otherwise you could be working the dirt into the paint. I believe that most of the old tins were top-coated with a clear varnish over the litho paint and that protects them to a degree but over time this can wear off or even disintegrate leaving just the paint layer. With enough rubbing you can get a nice shiny metal can with no paint at all! Each can is different depending upon how good the paint layer is and what sort of elements it has been exposed to. I have had a paint layer wipe off with just a bare clean cloth so you really have to experiment to see what works and what doesn't and what to leave alone. Cheers, Don.
