    also pops, it is exactly like the seam that is on 32 barn cars can. My great grand father's signal station was called Pete's Tower station. If you happen to find anything relating to that name, please please please email me. I am very interested in buying it, whatever it may be.

    I emailed Frank Fritz (American Pickers) to see what he thought the value of my earlt signal oil can is worth. Still awaiting a reply. I will email his results.

    Thanks,

    vividlyvintage, the white cabinet is a mechanics work station out of gas station or dealership there is a door that rolls down in center also that they could lock and would have ad glass in top center also that would light up , the strings you see hanging are old leather fly nets for horses.

    Vividlyvintage, You might want to post on oldgas that you're looking for stuff from your great g-pa's station. Also check the collectors roster on oldgas. There may be some guys from that area you can contact about looking for items for you.

    hotroddeuce, I'm not a bit surprised, but WOW.

    There used to be a sinclair dinosaur that was located in dixon CA (i think) but relocated to Benicia CA and renamed Benicia Benny. But then it disappeared. Not sure where it is now. Should be hard to not know where a 150ft tall, 100ft long dinosaur was moved to...

    Thanks,
