RE: gas station stuff - 3/24/2007 4:04:58 PM    L C   Posts: 3450 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline Hello John, and thanks for the welcome. Wish I had not even made mention of the comment, the Gentleman may not have meant nothing by it at all. Doesn't matter. This is a very interesting site, I have learned quite a bit from many of the collectors comments, and have seen some beautiful pictures of a lot of fantastic bottles. I have not been out on the hunt for old bottles for quite a few years, but since I stumbled onto this site, my interests have been rekindled to a great extent. Waether here in Ohio today is beautiful. If I could think of a place to go hunting, I would probably be out there today doing so. (in reply to bubbas dad) Post #: 21

I wonder how the heck they ride it,but it looks good. Not to digress but, Tristian also may speak English as a second language and if so I am quite impressed. Anyway, I would love to see more of your collection LC. I love pepper sauces. Joel (in reply to bubbas dad) Post #: 22

RE: gas station stuff - 3/24/2007 5:28:59 PM    L C   Posts: 3450 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline Thanks Joel, they are nothing compared to other collections I have seen. Sending one other picture of a few more of my junkers. With the help of a fellow member, I am trying to set up a website to display some of the many things I have collected over the years. It is going to take a while though, being I do not have the time at present to really get with it.      As for the Case Motorcycle, Case company gave this motorcycle away either last year or the years before in a drawing. I forgot to even fill out a chance to win the blasted thing when I went to see it. I built a chopper myself back in the 70s and rode for a few years myself. It looked nothing near as good as the Case Bike, but I had fun building it. They are really quite easy to ride, once to get used to them. I could ride one of those better than I could a stock bike. Take care for now, Lou Attachment (1) (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 23

It has either an iron or graphite pontil. It has a tiny knick at the top of the neck, other than that it is great. (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 25

RE: gas station stuff - 3/25/2007 1:39:46 AM    L C   Posts: 3450 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline Warren, I believe it was you or Joel that had made reference to the fact that Kristian is from another country, and that if that was so, his spelling was not all that bad considering our language would be secondary to him. I sold an item on eBay a couple of years ago to a fellow in Germany. We actually had a lot in common with each other and became quick freinds. He is constantly asking questions about things that go on in this country, and will compare them with the way of things in his country. He is quite an interesting fellow. His English and typing is terrible, and he is always apologizing to me for so many mispelled words. I never thought a thing about it, as I thought it was really good, the fact being that English is his secondary language. And besides, if Kristian typed me a note in his language, I would not be able to read it at all. I am always telling my friend Ingo in Germany the same thing. I have noticed over the couple years we have corresponded, that his english skills have improved quite a bit. The more you try,  the more you learn, and the better you get at it. If Kristian stays interested in attempting to learn our language, and continues to try and improve, he will without doubt get better at it as time goes on. That was one of the reasons I was trying to get with him concerning his interests in Gas & Oil memorabilia. I found it interesting that a youngster as young as him was actually interested in something like that. (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 27

Joel Joel, I was going to mention something concerning the Scroll Flask you thought was cobalt. I guess it is possible it could be a light cobalt, but I have never seen one in cobalt. I was thinking that possibly someone tried to help the color along on this well by subjecting it to a black light. Usually it is easy to tell, the color will look imitation, or at least it does to me. Color does not look imitation on the flask to me at all. And yes, there is mirror behind the bottles in the cabinets. When I built the cabinets, I thought by putting mirror in the back ground that it might add more light to the inside of the cabinet. I do not believe it made any difference though. UHMMM, now that you mention it, it would be nice if they were doubles and not a reflection after all! (in reply to L C) Post #: 28

RE: gas station stuff - 3/25/2007 2:18:47 PM    bubbas dad Posts: 1781 Joined: 3/30/2005 From: South Carolina, USA Status: offline Warren, I very much agree with you. Tristian states right up front that he’s from Newfoundland. bottle boy’s comment was uncalled for and reflects poorly on him. I’ve noticed on several forums I visit, that every once in awhile someone will post a nasty reply without a clue as to what they are commenting on. This seems to happen more and more. I do believe that sometimes a person will post a reply without realizing that it could be taken the wrong way. bottleboy’s comment definitely was not one of those. This is a great site and I would hate for this type of stuff become common here, but I seen it here a few times also. I believe someone was banned from here once for an incident that started similarly. _____________________________ john the older i get, the smarter my father gets!

RE: gas station stuff - 3/25/2007 10:57:03 PM    L C   Posts: 3450 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline I had one similar to that a while back, only it had a paper label of a car from the 1940s. Looks like Kristian is going to get his wish and see some oil memorabilia after all. If I can get my computer straightened out, I intend to post a few more oil bottles I have for him to see as well.

RE: gas station stuff - 3/26/2007 9:48:03 AM    capsoda Posts: 9832 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: offline Here is one that all us old farts should remember. It is a Camel tire patch kit. You had to have one of these with your bicycle and later with the tire tools in your car. Your average teenage hot rodder didn't have the jack (money) for a wrecker so you stripped the rim and patched your own tire or innertube. Wonder if I still have the brass to change a car tire. My give it a shot with my hot rod tires.

RE: gas station stuff - 3/26/2007 9:53:14 AM    capsoda Posts: 9832 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: offline The works. For you younger folks, you use the top to rough up the tube. Then apply the cement to the area you roughed up. Last you light the cement, (yes, on fire) blow it out and apply the patch. Instant repair.  I have some other things that I will get pics of later and post.

We would find all kinds of cool stuff at old dumps and old houses. Attachment (1) < Message edited by digdug -- 3/26/2007 9:57:40 AM > (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 37

RE: gas station stuff - 3/27/2007 12:15:15 AM    L C   Posts: 3450 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline Warren, do you collect the Gas & Oil Memorabilia? Just wondering being you are into the vintage automobiles, and being you posted the tire pach kit. Some of the Guys in my area that have the vintage autos also collect the gas & oil memorabilia. Have to get my computer fixed. Want to retaliate with some pictures of my own in response to yours and others pictures posted. This blasted  back up computer will not recognize mt camera for some reason to be able to upload the oictures off of it onto the computer! I hate it when that happens!!
