[stewystarr]

Need a little info on this bottle, Tried researching but only found a couple. Just looking for a price or a link to get further info. Thanks for any help.

From top to bottom it reads:

Fill to line (with arrows on either sides of those words)
Then inside a square it says: MASS 0-6-B SEAL
One Liquid quart
Then there is a logo that says: The Atlantic Refining Company
Then wavy lines that go around the whole bottle
Then H.M.CO

On the other side of the bottle it reads from top to bottom:
PA. 0-1-3
Approved
No. H-28
Then inside a triangle: 60 MINN
Then Atlantic Motor Oil

Thanks for the links, I have seen the second one on ebay but think thats probaly a bit high, I am selling for my landlord and he dont have any unrealistic expectations. I'm going to list it today and start it out in the $40 range and see where it goes.

Edited to add: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...STRK:MESELX:IT Hope its ok to post a link to the auction here, if not I can have it removed.

Nice one. First I have seen up close. Imagine having oil in bottles in todays world

crazyjarhead, Funny part is my landloard was still using this bottle! I saw it on the shelf in his garage and told him I would help him out a little. He is 84 years old and runs a shoe repair business. He had no clue it was worth something. Be nice to make him a few bucks anyway.

Just an update, auction ended at $56. Now take out shipping paypal and ebay fees and it was around $40. in the end.
