I had a really great week. I bought this sconce that came from a gentleman's father's gas station. I also got this hand painted pricer that I was able to find more about because of the help of a old gasser.

I haven't been anywhere to find any great Petro buys, but I did manage to score two very nice items from Ebay and a friend brought me a rare Cities can!
The first is a super nice condition, very rare, Winona Oil Company/Cities Service half gallon can! Tough to find at all, much less in this nice of condition! Got a super buy on it with a "Buy It Now" ad on ebay!

Second is another ebay find, and I think some buyers may have passed on it because it has a 4 inch globe ring, but I just happen to have an extra 6 inch ring that will fit this sconce perfectly!

Third is a Cities Service "Trojan" grease pail that has a factory attachment on it for filling grease guns! I've never seen one before and this one is near mint! A friend brought it over for me! Pretty good week I guess!

Cool sign Randy!

Went to Kramers Junction show on Saturday. Tinker and Dennis put on the show, and are great guys with a very nice collection. Ran into a few oldgasser's, and thanks to Hotcider I picked up a nice hard to find size Mobiloil sign at a great price. I've been kicking myself since I sold my Zerolene flange, So I found this single sided one and couldn't pass it up.
I picked up this pair of porcelain National 64's last week, only problem is the missing doors, also got this cool dated 1937 Ford can it's pretty rough, but I like it! Keep them coming everyone!

Always have had a thing for our local companies. Was stoked to find a pair of these Jenney Dealer signs pulled out of 2 different Boston Stations many years ago.

We were lucky enough to be able to get this single lens globe from a oldgasser and great guy. we cleaned it up and it turned out great. The globe still has a sliver of the broken lens still in between the body and the ring.




Also got a set of lenses from a local company from him as well
