To the oil can collectors -- can you beat this?

[dparm]

Took these yesterday at the Pontiac-Oakland Automobile Museum on Route 66, in Pontiac, IL.

So...who here has a bigger collection?

Holy Oil Can Collection BATMAN!!!!!
Frank from American Pickers would go nuts!!!!!

 

[hardcore302]

I think he has 'em beat! That's a cool collection. I'm jealous!

 

[NHGUY]

I dont see any Mopar or Arco Graphite.

 

[Torkenstein]

Then how about Vico

Or Gargoyle

Or Dominion

These signs, and many other memorabilia are to be found at the Mendenhall Museum of Petroliana in Buellton, Ca.

Mendenhall Museum

That's awesome I have to take a drive there one day I love the old oil cans and signs!

 

[SLCraig]

Awesome... That is really impressive.
Glad to see survivors out there still.

I didn't know that place existed, and it's about 45 minutes from me. Looks like a future road trip is in order.

VERY COOL! Thanks for the turn-on. Kira

The whole town of Pontiac is full of great Route 66 museums. Absolutely worth the trip. Plan to drive Route 66 itself for some fun roads.

Another great can collection; still no sign of mobile oil.

My dad collected cans and still has them in his garage. I only recognize 3 of them though. He has about 40 cans maybe, most unopened.

Huh? Look closer- in the first photo, left side, bottom half. There are 15 Mobil oil cans of various sorts.

 

[R80RS]

Wow. Saw a couple of Kerr McGee and Deep Rock cans, top center of third pic. Haven't seen either of those in years - takes me back.

 

[R80RS]

Apparently Deep Rock Oil & Gas is still around in some form. Trades for $0.0001 per share on the OTC pink sheets (when it trades at all).

OTC markets has designated it a Caveat Emptor stock, so invest with due caution.

It's a joke...note his spelling of "Mobil".
