My vintage oil bottle collection. HRP Hard to read but this is a TEXACO . CALTEX. LINCO - MARATHON. SHELL.
This is tiny bit of my B/A oil collection. I don't have gas pumps. Too rich for me. But I have been collecting since my grandfather passed and I found a lot of cool and rare B/A stuff in his garage. He drive a fuel tanker for B/A after WWII all the way up until he retired. It kind turned into a way for me to remember him. I can post some more if any one is interested Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
This Pegasus was rolled up into a ball and I "un-bent" it. It seems to fit quite well where I have it....
My honey knows what I like and got me this as a gift for Christmas years ago. We keep it next to our fireplace in the living room....
I don't generally collect much Petroliana , because I seem to collect everything else. But I couldn't pass up this 2 gallon can of "Hot Rod Racing Oil". It's gotta be good, because it's Double Re-Refined! Mick
My great grandfather (Harold Kellerhouse) was a Cities Service dealer. These are a few things I have collected- I will post more latter.
Here is a pic of my grandfathers lighter and some of his service metals. Gulf oil purchased B/A and he finished his driving career with them. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Found this in the woods behind one of my barns. Wisconsin used to make gas stations post these on the pumps, to verify the grade of gasoline you were buying, based on the specific gravity of the gasoline. Only state to ever do that.
