Just traded for this... as I was told, it was actually found in the junkyard & was rescued. Some would say she's out of her prime... but I think her life is just beginning! (my interest in it is easily spotted to the right  )

Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

I think it looks fine, a little bumps and bruises just gives it character.
I am always looking for anything Texaco or Oklahoma oil and gas company's, also I am a newbie at seeking globes.

Thanks. I'm not a fan of discussing personal finances, but my hobbies are self-supporting. Therefore,I decided long ago that the items with character were for me (I'm also a History teacher, so I like to think of them as living history). I harbor no envy towards fellow enthusiasts who can and do afford the primo pieces. As a matter of fact I'm pleased that they are able to discover and preserve those items and share them. As I tell my students, "It takes all kinds to make the world interesting."
