Can collection

[Red Crow]

Snapped these photos a few days ago while cleaning and reorganizing the apartment. That's all of my purple oil collection, and a small portion of my racing oil collection. Enjoy.

Thanks for sharing the 11 cans. How many are in your collection total?

 

[Red Crow]

I dont remember honestly. Probably less than forty, but maybe more.

Cool, are they all full with vintage oil?

All except the Royal Triton 10-30 can under the Texaco bottle are full.

Awesome. I don’t have a single can . Every time I save something it gets thrown away anyway.

Why?

Why?

My mom is one to get rid of anything no matter how much value it holds to someone else. She has done that many times. I worked really hard to save a bunch of metal coffee cans and clean them up really nice I come home one day and she had thrown all of them to the curb and the truck had already came. She said I’m tired of you saving junk so the junk is gone. I still haven’t forgiven her for that or spending my mint condition $20 bill from 1968 either .

that's sad.

Yeah I know. She gave my really rare childhood shirt to someone I go to church with for their kid. I was furious when I seen him with it on. So furious I said some stuff I really regret to her but man was I so angry. She thinks it’s funny to this day and tells me not to be greedy. That’s why I hide everything now that I want to keep.

Regret is a sign of humility. Humility is an honorable trait. I hope soon you find somewhere safe to keep your valued keepsakes, but remember more than anything that you have a good heart.
