Description
Up for auction is a vintage Weatherhead auto parts miniature store shelf!This is original oil truck advertising straight out of New York City, NY.
This shelf came from my uncle's oil trucking business in the Bronx. He joined the company back in the 1970s and worked there until it closed a few years ago. This is one of the small auto/oil truck parts shelves that I helped him salvage from the business.
The dimensions of this shelf are approximately:
16.5" long
6.5" wide
11" tall
Overall, I'd say the shelf is in decent condition for its age. The black Weatherhead logos and text are still completely legible. The rest of the shelf appears to be painted and acrylic yellow, which is badly rusted in some spots. The most dings and scratches are on the top, where I'm sure many other things were placed over the past few decades. Other notable damage is on the bottom right corner, where there is some heavy damage and bending of the metal corner (PLEASE SEE PICTURES). The bottom also has some of the most notable rust damage. Other than these areas, the shelf looks to be in pretty good shape and stands strong.
It also appears that there used to be small drawers that would fit on the shelves, but they are no longer there. I think this would look good in any vintage automotive or petroliana collector's garage... Maybe even to put small car models were Hot Wheels cars on as a display shelf. Please be creative and help give this shelf a good home!
