Although it's been mostly signs posted so far, this is my only contribution, a car wash bottle. I do have a black tire paint can but it's high up on a shelf and I didn't feel like getting the ladder out to get it!

This Buddy L truck was made one year only for Firestone stores only. It was sold in 1953 and shown in the 1952 Christmas catalogue

I have been collecting Firestone store catalogues to try a figure out what years the different styles of cans were made. These are random years from 1932-1959.





1932 80 page battery and spark plug catalogue

1935 and earlier cans



This design was used from 1936 until 55-57. I am missing these year catalogues and that is when the change was made.





The red and white came next

Here is a large decrepid neon porcelain Firestone sign still up in Spokane.



In the early to mid 1950s Firestone offered many different products. Here is a gas tank that could be bought for the Firestone outboard boat engines.



I was at a sale one day and there was a Firestone Bicycle there. Here is a forum thread about Firestone bicycles. http://thecabe.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?1741-Firestone-Bicycles

Here is a Bad pic of a Firestone Thrifti-Cut 2.5hp lawnmower that I picked up. I got it a little while ago and am going to see if I can get it to work.
