Luster seal
« on: September 28, 2018, 06:54:51 PM »
I'm looking for KF Luster seal items. I'm interested in the history and items related to this. I have one bottle , as well as a few made for Shell and a Studebaker one.

If you read the section on protective materials in this blog you will find several comments and information on Luster Seal and some items that they made.

At one time or another during the 1950's almost every car maker offered Lustur-Seal including Chevrolet, Nash, Hudson (and American Motors) and Willys-Overland.  Sometimne during the 1960's the operation completely shut down and I haven't been able to find out exactly when or why.

Here are a few items pertaining to Lustur Seal as Kaiser-Frazer had it.  The poster is a generic

Wow, thanks for that information. I did see a lighted KF sign for luster seal that was to be auctioned off a year or so in the club. Unfortunately I couldn't make to meet to bid. Great photos, thanks again

For you Luster Seal collectors the 1950 K-F calendar has illustrations by Bill Layne and one of the pages shows a bottle of Luster Seal among other accessories.  A seller on eBay has that page for sale along with two other pages from the six in the calendar.  It is eBay item #372464646008 and he has a $5.00 opening bid plus postage.  Bill Layne illustrated the K-F calendars for about three years and his artwork is very collectible.  He specialized in elves.
