Hi, Gang. I'd appreciate some value input on these three oil bottles:
-Tall Texaco 574 Oil, fired-on graphics, NOT a decal. Black T outline.
-Tall LNCO-Marathon, fired-on graphics. Logo is complete. I just couldn't capture it in one photo.
-GUDOL, decaled logo bottle. Definitely an original. I couldn't find out anything about this brand.
Thanks for your time and expertise, guys. John

Texaco is a forgery. Linco is correct. Gudol looks like real bottle with applied paper label. Cant say about authenticity .

Thanks for your input, wocopep. I would like to wait for comments from others regarding the Texaco 574 bottle. I will keep an open mind, but this bottle has been in my collection for about 35 years. Also, I don't believe I have ever seen an older FIRED-ON graphics oil bottle that was a fake. But of course, I'm open to learning something new every day (contrary to what my wife thinks!).
Finally, I realize you don't have the GUDOL bottle in front of you, but you are mistaken about it having an "applied paper label". I am holding the bottle, and the round logo area is definitely a water transfer decal. Again, this is a bottle I've had for over three decades.
Thanks for taking the time to reply, but I did feel the need to comment on a few of your statements. I'm looking forward to comments and value thoughts from some of the other readers, regarding all three bottles. Best, John

I would have to go with real on the Gudol bottle. Hard to tell from the pic posted. How about a pic of the bottom of the Texaco bottle.

Hi, Wocopep. Your pronouncement of "real" on the LNCO/Marathon and the GUDOL bottles is most appreciated. However, I was really looking for value input from Old Gas members, per my original post, since I never had any concerns about "real" or "reproduction". Thank you. John

Texaco is a forgery. Linco is correct. Gudol looks like real bottle with applied paper label. Cant say about authenticity . So you call the Texaco 574 bottle a forgery, then you ask for a photo of the bottom of the bottle. Let's hear it please. Thanks Doug

Thanks for your comments on the Texaco bottle, Doug (blacktee).
And Dave (wocopep), no apology needed, regarding the thread direction. My main goal is to gain some current information on the value of a few of my oil bottles that have been harder for me to research.
Thanks, John (Still "jolly")

Linco is all I can chime in on. $85-$100 from what I see in the photo. Good except for discoloring (should be white). Demand flucuates widely with the current availability on those.
