Hello,
My father owned and operated two Gulf service stations in the 1950's-1970's. He saved numerous items from the stations.
I am currently cleaning out his large barn and we uncovered dozens of cases till sealed of Nitro 9 Marine & Diesel Additive as well as motorcycle additive. Most cases are still sealed and it looks like they have 24 & 48 metal cans per case depending on what type.
I also have cases of Gulf Valvetop Oil and Gulf Tri-Ad in metal cone top cans, presumably from the 1950's or 60's.
Was wondering if anyone had an idea of value?
I talked to someone with knowledge of the Nitro 9 and he told me it has no shelf life, so still good. Maybe someone who races or has hot rods with no catalytic converters?
Some help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

James

All those are listed on eBay with a general market value between $8-12/can and slightly less when sold by the case.

These are great for original station oil racks.
