I know it looks weird to see the pictures sideways, but it shows the cabinet in its true size than if they are shortened and turned upright.
This is a near MINT original gargoyle cabinet. It is faded, but it is VERY STRAIGHT and has only light surface rust at the bottom in a few places. I cannot find ANY damage to this cabinet. This cabinet would have sat in the island between the car lanes and would have been between 2 tall gravity type gas pumps. It would have held oil cans with different grades for service of cars, motorcycles etc. The signs are MINT and I did not clean one of them. The shelves are very nice and one has the original slider for pulling out to reach items from the back. The paint looks to be original the cabinet.
As with most of these cabinets, the globe has been taken off at some time. It still has the original wiring all the way through the cabinet and has the original light socket at the top. Very excellent example.
