    No, it's not real, but from 10' away you might think so. Neighbor was throwing away a 60" round folding leg table, I watched it for a couple days while my brain was churnin' up ideas. I finally ******ed it and brought it to my Pinstriper/Sign Painter buddy, Bill Beckner. this what I got. soon to be on the wall, admired by all who enter. texaco.JPG Apaint17.jpg

  7. I showed this Shell gas station petrol tank cap I painted on the Friday art show, and here's a few more I didn't do.
    There's a few people who collect these things, and the Shell one is probably from the thirties.
    The HCS one is a forerunner to Golden Fleece.
    The last two pics are not done by me.

  8. Another I've just completed.
    This is an Australian one.
    The initials are HC C Sleigh, who is the guy who started the Australian petrol company, Golden Fleece.
    It went from 1916 through untill 1981. IMG_20161217_165415.jpg

    My dad made these for me a few years ago, very precious as he now has Parkinson's disease and has got severe tremors, such a cruel illness for a sign writer. columbia.jpg thickstun.jpg
