    Some more of mine. IMG_2378.JPG IMG_2384.JPG IMG_2387.JPG IMG_2390.JPG
     
  2. I found these while cleaning dad's workshop. The "Dr. Dorner Liquid 1st Class" probably dates to ~1957-8.
    The others to the mid-'70's.

    Would this qualify as an " @Moriarity Starter Set" ? ;):)

    "Non-Inflammable"; what the hell does that mean?

    Is it flammable, or not?

    This one is special, I got it at BobK's estate sale, and I stuck the sticker on.

    Not sure if this stuff counts as wax or not, not really sure what it is. Neat can though.

    And just slightly off topic for this thread, but I recently found these cans of whitewall tire paint, which are cool looking and they kinda justify the period-correctness of all my painted on whitewall tires.

    Cool, that matches the Lincoln wax can I have. I'm gonna guess that it is pre-war, being for tops and curtains, side curtains being my best guess.

    Picked up a box of advertising tins at an auction the other day. Sold some, traded some, but as usual, kept one for myself. Can't be helped.

    picked up this 20x30 flyer by Doc Dorner explaining how to "pyramid" yourself into being a millionaire by selling his wax. Bob K told me a long time ago that the pyramid scheme is how Dorner got into leagal trouble and why the name changed from liquid glass to liquid first class
