Hello guys need your expertise
Hero24
14 hours ago
Hi everyone,
I recently acquired this Goodyear Wingfoot sign and I’m looking for some help with authentication and dating. I’m relatively new to Petroliana and would love to know the history behind this piece.
Details:
Type: Double-sided, vacuum-formed plastic (acrylic).
Design: Iconic yellow Wingfoot on a blue background.
Construction: Two halves bolted together with a blue center spacer. It has an internal light fixture (looks like it was originally fluorescent/LED).
Condition: Original patina, no major cracks or chips in the plastic "feathers."
Questions for the experts:
Based on the construction and the Wingfoot design, what era would you pin this to? (I’m guessing 70s or 80s?)
Is this a standard dealer "pendant" sign that would have hung inside or outside a service center?
Are there specific manufacturer marks (like Plasti-Line) I should be looking for to verify it’s a dealer original and not a later repo?
What is a fair "collector-to-collector" price range for this in its current condition? Any insight into the history of this specific sign style would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for the help!

Bringing a Trailer Back From the Dead

Thu May 07 2026 12:49 AM
I was given a rusty utility trailer that was left on a property with other junk after it was sold. No title, fenders or lights and completely rusted. Only reason I took it was because it had a tilt bed that would make it nice for hauling my mower. Some new lights, new tires and used fenders got me through the state safety inspection and my receipts got me a "home built" title. It's a flat bed with stake pockets but no sides.
One day a few miles from home, I noticed a pickup bedliner laying in a ravine on the side of a highway. I drove back and examined it. It was for a compact 6 foot pickup bed but my trailer was 8 foot and it had bumps for the wheelhouse tubs that my trailer didn't have. Picked it up and thought I could figure out how to use it. Just a few miles later on the same road I noticed another bedliner in a ditch on the roadside. It looked to be one made for a utility trailer like mine. Had a crack, but I figured I could reinforce it. Threw it on top of the other bedliner on my truck and I looked like the Beverly Hillbillies with 2 bedliners stacked on top of my pickup bed cover.
The 2nd bedliner fit pretty well on the trailer, but needed stakes all around to hold it. But it was too floppy on the sides and looked incomplete. So I sawed the floor of the other bedliner into 10" strips to attach to the outer sides of the inner bedliner to stiffen it and look better. Decided to use some 5/4 deck boards to beef up the sides and make them a little taller. Sandblasted and painted the metal parts of the trailer and put the parts all together.
It's a very low dollar project, but it's useful and looks kind of unique.

SOCONY parts washer
smellyoldgasman
Mon May 04 2026 01:53 PM
I picked up the SOCONY branded parts washer. I can't find much on this other than what Gemini has been able to provide. Looks like an industrial line hence the blue color, probably from the early 30's. Paint is original and getting quite thin. What is the best way to treat / protect the paint?
