I'm not sure what old phone booths have to do with Petroliania and cheap gas from the olden days, but having a booth with a crown on it next to a gas pump with a crown on it seems like the right combination to us. I can't remember exactly when these old English ph booths actually came out, but I believe that they are the right period for the old gas pumps and just lasted for a very long time like a lot of British stuff did. In the olden days things were built to last and last they did. Our biggest COMPETITOR these days is still the farmer that is still using his old gas pump and won't let go of it because the new ones are not as good!!! At least that is what many farmers tell me. We really like having a complete collection at the @Lakeside Storage Museum in Provo and it's still FREE for looking or even taking pictures.
Rattletrap you have gone sideways again.
You can come over to my house and look for free too.
YAY! It is right side up now.
Sparky, I'm heading down your way from Canada and will stop into see your place this Saturday if you're around. You've put together a great looking collection! Graeme
