Your can is beautiful and probably a 100 + years old. When I can find an exact date I'll post it. I would not even wax that can with the litho. (sp)

Another foolish thing I just did is sell that book by Elton Glish (sp.) so happens I have all those photos on a disc. What year is that can from gulfiend ? Early teens 11-14 might be my guess ? Maybe earlier?

Had fun finding a few things this weekend. Kind of neat Peninsula Oil Co Cities Service standing dust pan. Tried to call the 3 digit phone number on it but it didn't work on my iphone.

Had been looking for an A38 for some time and found this one by chance on a non-gas/oil forum. Needs a few parts/pieces to be complete, but decent display pump as-is. Dave

Here are my purchases from Scott and Dixie Gas.
Also came across an old crime scene. One of my clients told me the story of about 15 years ago he threw hundreds of these lens and globes away when he was cleaning out his warehouse. These were some of the borken peices I pick up off the floor.
Does anyone else have trouble throwing stuff like this away. I know its trash but I keep thinking about what it once was and not what it is now:(
Looking for any Alabama based globes and advertising such as Coastal, Rebel, Interstate Oil, Foster Oil (supertane), Mutual, Oil Well, etc...

few more items I bought the same time as the Texaco can, I have never seen that DX rest room sign before. Not sure if it held the keys or was hanging by them. The ashtray is about 3" in diameter (goodyear)
