Ulu Posted March 30, 2023 Report Posted March 30, 2023 Seen in a local auction house. Any ideas? I think it was from a display rack in a tire shop or similar. Quote

greg g Posted April 1, 2023 Report Posted April 1, 2023 What8s the lettering? Doesit have a plug? Counter top merchandiser for something, gum candy, Quote
Ulu Posted April 1, 2023 Author Report Posted April 1, 2023 On top it says U.S.A. and the original paint was gone over sloppily at least once. It does not appear to be a liquid container. It has 4 obvious screws up from below, but no bung or spout or anything. Sounds like 18 or 19 ga steel when you tap it. Like an old car fender from 1949. Nobody at the auction house knew anything about it or its origin. It had not sold when they closed the auction house during covid. Probably still there. When I moved here in 1975 there was a chain of USA gas stations, but I don't recall this. Quote
Los_Control Posted April 2, 2023 Report Posted April 2, 2023 I'm only suggesting, if you drive through Roswell you will see items like this. There is one display 20-30 feet tall downtown advertising the "Aliens" ..... But a smaller item like @Ulu is showing ..... could be on any counter in Roswell. So naturally we think of Roswell ..... Still a cool item ..... Value of item I could not guess. I would expect several of them in Roswell .... same time are survivors valuable? 1 Quote
Ulu Posted April 2, 2023 Author Report Posted April 2, 2023 I could certainly see it as some sort of signage. Quote
