Texaco Star Shed

[Joe Huld]

Spent the day today searching through a hot, dirty storage shed. The owner died 20+ years ago and according to the neighbors had owned a Texaco gas station from the 1940's to the early 80's. So far I've found mechanics hand tools dating from the entire period but nothing really exciting. Much trash and debris had to be moved just to clear an aisle to the back and in the process I uncovered the Texaco and Gas Station artifacts pictured. I thought the windshield wiper display was particularly cool and the other two wall cabinets will probably clean up. Seems like this guy kept an awful lot of wheel bearings on hand. There are dozens of other old Texaco product containers both full and empty as well as hoses oil filters etc.
Going back tomorrow for round two which ought to be fun in 95 degree weather.

I'm going back today for round 2 and will be bringing back hand tools, Texaco branded containers and parts etc. I am keeping a few things but most of it , including the cabinets and wiper cart will be for sale.
The truck is my 1961 Willys 4wd with L226 3 speed, and a Saturn
overdrive. I'll post more pics when I get back today.

Nice. Was this a Craigslist ad or something? Post a lot of pics for us.

Depending on where you’re at, I could be interested in the Wall cabinets

I think Joe did Ok.
I swung by his place and grabbed a load of the stuff and have been cleaning it up getting it all ready to go into my Texaco station

Still waiting.

Sorry for the too long delay but life intervenes. Don and another friend bought a fair bit of stuff from the first lot but I just cleared the shed and now have another load. I took a few cell phone pics and as soon as I figure out how to post them I'll offer them to the GJ members first.

Mr Pontiac
I took some pics of the pieces I picked up from Joe and I worked on cleaning up some of them.

Don I like your purchases especially the Texaco Vision Center and the Bosch cabinet. Good for you. I am a fan of the Texaco related items as well.
