Title: My finds on Saturday Post by: bmclemore on April 13, 2008, 09:24:37 pm I don't just collect Coke machines!!!! I Found these advertised on craigslist. A Mobiloil lollypop sign, A Quaker state oil lubester, A couple old gas cans and a rare old porcelain corner sink ( I refinish porcelain tubs and sinks)

Several here collect the gas station stuff too... I just have a few cans and a couple pumps but it's all good! you gonna restore the lubster?... looks cool. Title: Re: My finds on Saturday Post by: bmclemore on April 13, 2008, 09:42:06 pm I'll post some pictures of the sink when I finish. I do plan on restoring the lubster sooner or later. It's at the end of a long line :down:

Title: Re: My finds on Saturday Post by: SIGNGUY on April 14, 2008, 08:39:30 am Nice stuff... I like the old Gas stuff as well, as many do... The lubesters,, are they all 3 joined together or are they seperate? they also look like glass cylindars on them? if so... those make them a little more valuable... Very cool!

Hi, Yes the lubster is joined together as one unit, it also has the glass cylinders, it even has the original Quaker State motor oil sign attached on the left side, you can see it in the picture but you can't make out what it says unless you see it close.Title: Re: My finds on Saturday Post by: cormy on April 15, 2008, 08:26:20 am I really want a Mobil Oil curb sign.

Title: Re: My finds on Saturday Post by: bmclemore on April 15, 2008, 08:29:41 pm I really want a Mobil Oil curb sign. Nice score!! Is the porcelain in good shape? How much? Hi, The porcelain in in ok shape, it has its fair share of pops, one side is better than the other. It looks alot better now as I've touched up the pops. For the whole trailer load of items, I paid $280.00, which I think is a good deal, my first Mobiloil keyhole curb sign I bought cost me $200 alone and of course my coca-cola curb sign was alot more. Title: Re: My finds on Saturday Post by: RC kid on April 15, 2008, 08:36:26 pm Excellent deal. Congrats
Title: Re: My finds on Saturday Post by: SIGNGUY on April 15, 2008, 11:18:34 pm WOW... Great deal... 280 for everything? The last rough mobil sign I saw like that was around 750 and it sold!!!
The lubesters alone are worth that if not more being glass cylinders... cool!
