Vancouver Island Picking

Some great stuff I found recently to add to the collection. Really cool Pepsi-Cola bottle cap; a Wondar Wax small tin and a B-A tin #pepsi #pepsicola #pepsicolasign #retrosigns #britishamericanoilcompany #petroliana #oilcans

Picked this up today at a warehouse sale! A porcelain Gulf pump plate sign #gulf #gulfoil #porcelainsigns #enamelsigns #vintagerocks #vintage #vintagestyle #petroliana #petrolianastyle #gasandoilsigns

I love these old ads. These date from the early 1950’s #championsparkplugs #petroliana #automobilia #mancaveideas #mancavestuff #mancavestyle

I also picked this beauty up the other day. Really strong black, red and white graphic #petroliana #warchiefoil #oldcans #oldoilcan #oldoilcans #automobilia #vintageoilcans #mancaveideas #mancaves #mancavestuff #mancavestyle

I’m delighted to now call this beautiful can mine! I love everything about it and it’s in really good shape. I grew up in England, very close to where the Spitfire was developed in Woolston, on the South Coast of England. The prototype Spitfire took off from Southampton Airport in 1936 and the Supermarine Spitfire factory was based in Woolston, in Southampton. #spitfire #supermarinespitfire #petroliana #oldcans #oldoilcans #automobilia #oldtins

The only petroliana in this picture is a repro Harley Davidson sign, but I am so happy with the way our rec room is starting to look! #vintage #vintagestyle #marilynmonroe #unionjack

I love the graphic on the little Porta-Gasoline can! Glad the snow has gone though. #petroliana #mancave #mancaveideas #oilandgas #oilandgaslife #vintagestyle

Slowly but surely the man cave is coming along. I have a nice collection of number plates as well that will be going up on the wall. #mancave #mancaveideas #mancavedecor #petroliana #shelloil

Not very old (90’s?), but picked up very inexpensively and I thought it would look great up on my corrugated metal walls #bosch #boschtools #boschautomotive #petroliana #tinsigns #vintagetinsigns

Nice Texaco can that I picked up the other day! Antiques stores are great places to pick for petroliana #petroliana #vintagecans #mancavedecor #mancave #mancaveideas #texaco #antiques #antiquestores

For the last year, I have been collecting petroliana; old gas station signs (enamel or porcelain) and old tins. I have been adorning my new man cave since we finished construction in September.

Picked up this cracker last year and it kick started my interest in petroliana. This is my first and favourite sign. It is dated 1929 and has just the right amount of patina for me! I wonder where it lived most of it’s life? I am interested in mainly enamel automotive themed signs in ANY condition and am willing to pay cash.
