I got one metal can that is high on the value chain one of a kind actually...

Hurts wheel can signed by Bill Campbell-Linda Vaughn-Perky Patty

Campbell co-founder of Hurst

Perky Patty original Hurst Golden SHifter (is pictured when the winner of the 1965 GTO contest car was given away.

Linda Vaughn who needs no intro

All three tie into the time span the Hurst wheel was in production.

I know of no other Hurst wheel can that has those 3 signatures.

denniskirban@yahoo.com

On a similar note I have a small collection of the transistor radios that look like batteries and soda machines etc....

The key to any collection is to start early in life.....seek out the prime example.....make it something you enjoy.....

More..the Motion can is spray lube..nothing to do with Motion Cars..but it says a product of the missle age...cool..but ruff


then ya have to collect handy oilers right..even one for a train..right?the two tiny silver ones on the far left, are very very old..like 19teens to the 30s...they where sold for sewing machines, and gun owners used them and fisherman...the one with a cap is for a watch maker..it has a little stem, you can get a drop and put it exactly where ya want it


then ya have to have a 30s service station hat right?too bad the moths got to it


then a small fire extinguisher from the 30s right? call a fire grenade..some where glass...this one ya pull a pin like a grenade and its pressurized...and the stuff in it will give you cancer in 2 weeks...no joke..lol

a pair of long-nose oil apply cans: one has Type F fluid..

Hamilton Beach mini oil can from the 30's.

You may want to do a little research - I have a new in box GE pocket transistor radio from around 1970; I did some checking online and this particular model is worth around $65.

I saw the Standard Oil can. Pretty cool one. Anything with Standard Oil is very collectible and from what I understand, the most collectible.
.
There's a big market for anything petroliana (spell?). With that stuff, the bigger it is the more expensive it is.
