Got these in the 80's when we were helping clean out my wife's grand parents home, her grand father had a the gas/repair station starting in the 30's (he passed in the early 60's). My grand father had a repair shop and I believe I saw them at his shop as well. https://vccachat.org/ubbthreads.php/galleries/383646
