Found this mint Gulf oil can today.

[drauch]

Can we please change this to the vintage motor oil thread?

[Ed Oscuro]

Heh, that 3 in 1 oil logo hasn't changed. Liquid wrench is still as nasty as ever, too!

That Johnson floor wax can, though...and the XHD motor oil! Somehow I don't think it stands for "Xtreme High Definition." Probably "Xtreme Heavy Duty" actually. Funny, people think that the X-treme craze started in the late '90s.

[Rob79]

- 2 vintage tins
- Vintage Made in Japan tin friction Greyhound bus
- 1979 Matchbox Lesney Ford Camper No: 38

Nov 21 2014 finds

Found these records and blank cassette for $5.25 at an estate sale today.
Records are in nice shape.

[drauch]

Everything else I understand, but why the sealed cassettes? This is still stuff that is being manufactured and sold. Actually making quite the comeback in local music scenes as a cheap alternative for physical media.

[Rob79]

Everything else I understand, but why the sealed cassettes? This is still stuff that is being manufactured and sold.

The cassettes made within the passed 17 or so years are total crap.
early 80's to early 90's casssettes were the best quality.

[drauch]

Ah, interesting. I don't collect myself, but what is it about them that makes them inferior? Just simply curious.
