Thanks for the comments guys. It is always good for the spirit to obtain a quantity of items that one collects. A lot easier than one at a time. It will definitely keep me busy for awhile emptying grease tins, straightening a few dents and adding a few lids. Rocco, we have steak restaurants here that charge for a meal almost what a Red Indian can is worth. I'd rather have the can. Cheers, Don.

India is probably making them as we speak!...nice sign.
I am always looking for anything Texaco or Oklahoma oil and gas company's, also I am a newbie at seeking globes.

This sign was on Ebay three different times at BUY IT NOW $25,000 and $35,000 , so there was lots of opportunity ... I don't care about the makers from India, I'm not going to let them ruin and rule my life. It's too nice to not be appreciated by everyone.

My first pump! Picked this 1961 Wayne model 420B Canadian pump up last Sunday. Pump is in very good shape, few small dents on one side & some pitted chrome, missing the hose but otherwise the faces are in very good condition. As an added bonus, after some detective work, looks like this was originally a British American Oil pump! And that's what I will be bringing it back to over the winter months. Will post the complete restoration pics once it's done. This '61 pump will tie in very well with my '62 GMC B/A shop truck.

Paul, here's one I restored as a Shell, spent a fortune on chrome plating. Did one in BA as well.

Hey thanks very much for the pics Dave, love these 60s pumps! I have seen your Shell pump pics, looks amazing, the BA is really cool as well! I have a black & white pic of a BA station taken in the 60s with the same pump (just a twin version) with a slightly different colour scheme. Short lower side return panels are dark green along with the top "canopy" section and the main front panels being white with "88" logo on it. This appears to be the way my pump was originally painted. However I really like your BA pump colour scheme, may have to go the same way you did. Looks like you painted the chrome sections around the faces in white, great way to save on chroming costs. Thanks again for posting the BA pump pic. Paul Paul, here's one I restored as a Shell, spent a fortune on chrome plating. Did one in BA as well.
