Hi all, new to the site. I some what collect signs gas oil, and anything advertising or rusty...lolol
Yesterday i found these two lubester got both for $40 each $80 total. The smaller red one had gray paint that was flaking and covering an old Mobiloil sticker. Ive looked around the internet to see if i can find some old stock origional decals and was curious if anyone can share some advice.
Im not sure theyre age but the tanks tanks are both solid and no holes. Im kind of thinking leave the red mobiloil one as is, and redoing the bigger Chevron one. Either way id like to fine old stock origional decals of available.......

It is hard to read the ID tag you included. I don't believe Bennett made a 60, is there another number before or after the 60? I have a great deal of literature on these oil dispensers, some of it can be seen on this page of my website: http://petrolianacollectibles.com/bennett%20highboys.htmJack Sim Author, Gas Pump Bible, available at: www.gaspumpbible.com

Original unused Mobil related decals do come up on Ebay with some frequency. I can't tell you if they will be usable or not. I have some that I bought at Peotone years ago in my collection, and being they were well cared for and properly stored, I would feel pretty confident they could still be usable. Keep looking, you should be able to find one eventually. Darin https://www.ebay.com/itm/MOBILOIL-A...DECAL-VINTAGE-PEGASUS-MOBIL/392151130962

There is at least two layers of decals one blue lettering the bottom black. I trying to slowly flake off the gray paint so i get a good look at the right original decal to look for. But ill definitly keep an eye out on ebay.....thank for the advice
