I Went Out Looking for More Silver to Add to The Stack and I Got Distracted and Bought This......I Like Petroleum Memorabilia Too

in art •  6 years ago  (edited)

Stackitis Got the Best of Me Today but That is Not What I am Going to Show you Here......

This is What I Got Today Even Though I Got Some Silver for The Stack Too......................

This is Actually a Neat Little Piece of Petroleum Memorabilia in the Form of a Chevron Station Manager Pin............

A Brass and Enameled Official Station Manager Pin and I Picked this One Up Because I Knew that this Would Have Been Worn by That Guy that Would Have Checked Your Oil and Tire Pressure about 50 to 60 Years Ago...............

When I was a Kid They Called Them Service Stations Where a Guy Would Pump Your Gas For You and Make Sure That your Transmission Fluid was Topped Off and Your Battery Cells Would have Been Filled if Needed............

Now Here She Is Vintage Chevron Station Full Manager Enameled Cloisonne Hat Badge Cap Pin........Check It Out

But Stokjockey How Big is This Pin ? I am Glad You Asked So I Gave You a 1 Oz. Modern Day Station Manager Coin to Compare it to. "Luke I'm Your Father".........Thank You Darth

Yes I Could have Bought Another Ounce or Two of Silver for What I Paid for a Silly Station Manager Pin, But........

Here is What a Recent Sale of This Pin was on eBay, Now if I play my Cards Right this Chevron Pin Might Just Get me Five or Six More Ounces of Silver or I may Keep the Pin, I have not Decided what to do Yet..........

Although I Love To Share With You my Silver Stacking Purchases I Also Like to Throw in Some Other Things That I Pick Up So Maybe You Will Keep Your Head on a Swivel Looking For Other Collectibles that You might Be Able to Pick and Profit From to Add Ounces to Your Stack............

Thanks For Taking a Look and I will be Sharing Some Other Silver Items I Picked Up today Over The Next Few Days.........

Very cool piece @stokjockey. I think I have some old Petroliana out in my back barn. I'll have to look. Got lots of old OEM car & motorcyle parts in the original packaging.

@vgholdingsllc Nothing Better than Tripping Across some Fun OIL Stuff and Doing a Little Cherry Picking...........

I'll be doing some cherry picking this weekend. The engine in that little SS I'm parting out comes out the bottom. I'll have to lift the front end over it.

More Parts will give You more FIAT for some of OUR Favorite Stacking Metals.............

Well that's an interesting thing... I don't have much to say, other than, it's pretty cool.

@fat-elvis Yes it is Pretty Cool and When You are looking for Neat Silver Pieces these are Fun to Come Across too..........I am Watching Barrett Jackson While I reply to you so I guess I have a little Car Guy in me too.

Oh man, I love old cars even more that silver! I had a 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass S. White with blue interior, the absolute best looking cutlass ever was the '73! I sold it because my house foundation failed and I needed cash!! But... Some day, I will have a '73 again! I had a maverick, a 64 Merc pickup, and a sweet burgundy impala that got stolen 😥, but now I have a Toyota pickup and no classic cars. Hopefully that changes soon!!

And bikes, I love old motorcycles!

I want to go to Barrett Jackson some day, would be a neat time!

Me Too @fat-elvis Late 60's Corvettes, Camaros and Chevelles !

Oh man, I likes me a sweet Camaro! I owned a 91 with T-tops for a while in the 90's,it wasn't fast but it looked fast, lol. But a '68-70 well, that's pure automotive art.

AMEN

I had a 73' too, old age took it away from me.

Nice find stok. That looks like it was proudly worn 👍

Stokjockey becomes "the American Picker". (A US serie broadcasted here as well and they oftne buy old garge signs and alike)

That was One of my Favorite Shows when I used to watch TV. I have not watched TV in almost 5 Years. I am glad I am not TV PROGRAMMED anymore..........@goldrooster

Good idea, I often watch without seeing anything interesting.

Dear @stokjockey

Hope you don't mind this comment (a bit off-topic).

I know that you delegated some SP to dstors. I'm not sure if you're aware that they seem to shut down their project lately. Just check out their profile and read latest post.

Guys from dstors didn't even bother to contact people who supported them. Such a shame. This project looked very promissing.

ps.
I was wondering if you would consider supporting my efforts in building a crypto community here on Steemit..

Since HF20 took place, myself, along with a few other active "Steemians" decided to put in extra effort into making our little community stronger. And community build mostly on mutual engagement and support instead of financial rewards.

I recently delegated over 3500 SP to a group of 80 active steemians who struggled with low RC levels (resource credit). And the results has been great so far. One of my latest posts reached over 800 comments, which I found insane

Those results are only proving that our efforts are worth something. The only thing is that I can only do "that much" with my current resources.

Perhaps you could consider supporting our efforts with some delegation? I would seriously appreciate your help.

Please let me know what do you think. I will appreciate every feedback, regardless of your decision.

Yours
Piotr

@crypto-piotr I did Pull my Delegation 2 Days after I put SP in @dstors when the Comments came out in a negative way about them. I am not currently looking to delegate to your Project Right Now but that does not mean I would do so in the Future. I appreciate you sharing it with me and making the comment about @dstors . Right now I am mostly Focusing on the @ssg-community and Building UP my SP Delegation with Them First...........

Dear @freedomshift

Thank you for your kind comment and I'm sorry for replying so late.

I am not currently looking to delegate to your Project Right Now but that does not mean I would do so in the Future.

I fully understand and respect that.

Would you mind if I would tell you a little bit about my community project, which revolves around supporting valuable writers and their quality content related to blockchain and crypto_

Perhaps you could consider supporting me in the future.

Yours
Piotr

Collecting such stuffs is amazing man! like I always wanted to do some collection.
Keep up with amazing content.

Thank you @praditya I will do my Best to Keep Bringing the Amazing and Unusual Content............

Looks kind of cool bro.
