An outgrowth of my “car guy” hobby (1954 4x4 Willys Wagon, 1969 MG Midget Mark III) is Petroliana. Basically collecting anything related to old gas stations.
in my case I collect Petroliana related to Standard Oil of Indiana (think Rockefeller) that includes antique gas pumps, signs, oil cans, gas pump globes (crowns in my case), a highway billboard, miscellaneous smalls and the biggest item, a mid 1920’s Pacific Steel prefabricated gas station I am restoring for the back yard.
it helps to have an understanding wife. No money wasted on the golf course, she can find me in the shop! Someday she will have a great auction and enjoy the “investment “ I did for her!
