Original vintage Folk Art Valvoline Hand-Painted Sign Easy Flow Oil c. 1950. I heard that Frank Fritz and the American Pickers are coming to Michigan. Got this JUST IN TIME! Pretty unusual to find a painted by hand petroliana sign, and whoever made it designed his own logo! He even remembered to paint the V upside down when letting the oil out.

An antique folk art FREE AIR sign, original paint, 30 inches long. Inflating your tires correctly, it is generally agreed, can same some 3% of the gasoline used by your car, not to mention helping your automobile to run properly. Multiply that by the number of cars. Simple, right?
Not when it comes to the President of the United States, who the gas bags of wind at Fox News have told lies about ever since he took office. Why? Big Petroleum, Big Business and Big Deceit. Above clip from Fox News website 2008.

Here is one for those guys on American Pickers who are always looking for oil cans. I am going to guess the blue embellishment was done by a proud little girl who had a calico blue dress. Dad is also proud, he is living the American Dream. Mom, not Mcdonald's would make the sandwiches, and I'm going to guess once in a while give one to a passerby who was hitching. Who would think 75 years later the petroleum companies would be so hated they have to spend millions of dollars on "image advertising" to make us think they are still the good guys.
