Well, I was going to go to the Mike Rhein collection sale in Minneapolis, butm the weather and a phone call held me back. A close friend of mine has slowly been dispersing his collection, and he calls me whenever he's in the mood to sell! Friday was my day and I was able to buy some pretty nice signs!
The picture has the signs in the condition I received them, and I just finished cleaning up the first 2 and they look great! The Phillips shield is as close to NOS as you can get and actually came from Devils Lake in the beginning! Bonus when you get something from the home town!

Here are my buys from the Escalon show. All in all it was a great show with more than 30 vendors. I picked up the signal, and the Richfield from fellow oldgassers. The shell is rough, but I love it.
Wanted anything Flying A Gas, Signal Gas, Hancock oil co, and Sunland.
Thanks Anthony

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.

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.

forgot two. probably the nicest condition early poster i've ever found. Samson tires, 1901. found in shipping box, about 5 ft. by 5 ft. and a killer Stewart Warner "write it yourself" neon countertop display. I guess this could be considered "not" petrolia, but I imagine it in a Texaco station, so i guess it is! neon works perfect. chuck  Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Picked up the plate to the left last week. It is dated 3-42 and has Made in U.S.A. on the left and is a thick heavy sign. These are the small pump plates 8 by 12. The one to the right is very light and thin and has P&N 3-64 on the lower right corner. It is also a little brighter white. I picked this one up last year.
You can see other slight differences between them as well.
