I don't run into much petroliana around here so I'm hoping to get it in order to trade/make money for something I'm more interested in it. Your thoughts? Thanks in advance!

They are really beautiful if you re-chrome all the bright metal pieces. The porcelain can be etched with a sandblaster and once the body work is done, finished in auto enamel. There is one on my home page done in Pure Firebird.....Killer pumps. Paul www.severngaspumps.com

Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...
