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.

Hey John, As long as we police ourselves this forum will always be the great place that it is and I think roger will do his best to keep it that way.


Hey Mike, Great bottle.

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.[]

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.

Here is an old Camel tube repair kit my Dad had for years. I repaired many a bike tire with those! I used to do a lot of Mountain Biking when I was little.....before they made Mountain bikes!! All my friends and I would ride in the woods and blow tires left and right. (we used to take our 10 speed bikes off into the woods all the time)
But-it was riding in those woods that got me into bottle digging! We would find all kinds of cool stuff at old dumps and old houses.

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!!
