Lot 100: Early 20th-century Shell Motor Oil Cast Iron Lubester Lid

Lot 100 features an original, early-to-mid 20th-century vintage Shell Motor Oil cast iron lubester lid, a rare piece of automotive history. A "lubester" was a bulk oil dispenser unit commonly used at service stations and auto repair garages during the 1920s through the 1950s. This heavy cast iron lid is embossed with the classic Shell Pecten (scallop) logo framing the words "Shell Motor Oil," reflecting iconic branding from that era. Estimate: $80-$130.
