19351420Wichita: Wichita Mapping & Engineering Co 1935. Very good. Large blueline map 40.75 x 47 inches. Rolled. Some excess blue ink along bottom edge. Light wear at edges. Minor toning and dust soiling. Scattered neat contemporary manuscript annotations. Imposing and detailed oil and gas map showing developments in Kay County Oklahoma bordering Kansas directly south of Wichita. The present map delineates all the oil and gas wells being planned and drilled and all wells actively producing and abandoned. These are several large concentrations of activity the largest being between the towns of Blackwell Braman Dilworth and Peckham northeast of the Chikaskia River with others located near Tonkawa Ponca City and between Newkirk and Kaw. The map also notes land ownership for every section of every township in the county."The oil and gas industry stimulated an economic boom in the early 1900s. As early as 1894 gas had been discovered on the Marcus McClaskey farm southeast of Newkirk. However he kept the discovery a secret until he could prove up his land claim. By 1902 approximately six gas wells had been drilled northeast of Blackwell. In 1910 Ernest W. Marland founder of the 101 Ranch Oil Company drilled seven gas wells on the Millers' 101 Ranch. However the great oil boom in Kay County was precipitated by the discovery of oil by Marland on the Ponca allotment of Willie Cries Crys-for-War in June 1911. Louis H. Wentz soon entered the foray to locate oil in Kay County. The oil boom and bust created temporary peaks in population and several ghost towns such as Mervine Dilworth and Three Sands" - Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture.Not in OCLC.

1918664Muskogee Ok 1918. Very good. 4pp. on a large bifolium. Previously folded. A couple of very minor losses at fold points. Light tanning. Scarce illustrated report from 1918 on the developments and production of the Oklahoma Oil Wells Company based in Muskogee Oklahoma. Much of the text is dedicated to an assessment of work completed on wells located at lease secured by the company near Sedan in Chautauqua County Kansas to which the majority of available funds was being directed. The progress of four wells is assessed and a report on construction and acquisition of other equipment necessary for the site is given. The production of other leases in Nowata and Muskogee Counties Oklahoma and Greenwood County Kansas is also discussed. The final page contains three photographic illustrations of a power plant and a well on the Sedan property as well as a lengthy exhortation to invest in Liberty Bonds to support the federal government's war effort as World War I continued through 1918. Also with a separate typed letter dated January 9 1917 soliciting investment from an Ohio resident. unknown books

1970233511970. Rigging International photographs of refinery vessels crawler transporters port cranes and module lifts place oil-industry labor at the center of the late 1970s and early 1980s energy buildout. Captions in the group name offloading modules at Prudhoe Bay on Alaska's North Slope moving a 420 ton nuclear vessel from Oceanside to San Onofre erecting refinery vessels at Come-By-Chance Newfoundland offloading a 550 ton refinery vacuum tower in Aruba and handling 130 ton bulk-loader cranes at Cherry Point Ferndale Washington. The archive is best dated to roughly the late 1970s and early 1980s from its overlap with San Onofre Units 2 and 3 after the Atomic Energy Commission issued construction permits in 1973 and with Prudhoe Bay work after the Trans-Alaska Pipeline began operating in 1977; Rigging International later identified Alameda California as its world headquarters.<br /> <br /> Rigging International. Archive of 34 large format photographs. Circa late 1970s to early 1980s Alameda California with projects in California Alaska Hawaii Washington Newfoundland Aruba and Sweden. Each 8" x 10" predominantly color with a few black-and-white prints. Captions identify specialized heavy-lift and transport work in refinery construction marine offloading nuclear-component hauling port-crane erection maintenance and machinery installation with recurring references to crawler transporters barge operations lifting frames and oversized refinery vessels. Specific projects documented in the visible prints include Come-By-Chance refinery work in Newfoundland; San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station transport; Hanford reactor hauling; Prudhoe Bay module offloading; the Port of Oakland and Port of San Francisco; the Hawaiian Independent Refinery; Spreckels sugar refinery in Salinas; Cherry Point bulk-loader crane installation near Ferndale; and the Total concrete jacket construction site at Stord Norway.<br /> <br /> Labor shown in this archive document the transport lifting erection and maintenance work required to make energy production function across refineries ports and offshore supply systems. The North Slope photographs belong to the years after the Trans-Alaska Pipeline opened Prudhoe Bay to sustained high-volume production while the refinery and marine-lift photographs align with a broader period in which energy companies expanded output through new modules replacement vessels piping additions and upgraded handling systems rather than through constant construction of entirely new refineries. Alameda Oakland San Francisco Ferndale Aruba Newfoundland and Hawaii appear here as linked points in that industrial geography joined by the labor of crews moving vacuum towers reactors cranes and process equipment too large for ordinary transport. Light handling wear scattered edge wear minor curling and a few corner bends visible across the prints; overall good condition. A record of the heavy-lift labor that built and maintained oil and industrial infrastructure during the post-1973 energy expansion. unknown
1945232411945. Oil refinery photo archive documenting refinery labor plant operations and worker identity at Kern Oil in Southern California and Mid West Refineries in Grand Rapids Michigan in the immediate postwar years showing how petroleum production expanded through the daily work of identified laborers during the industrial reorganization that followed World War II. The group centers on the men who stood on the ground among cracking towers tank farms piping runs shop buildings and control areas. Postwar oil demand rose with civilian automobile use trucking suburban growth and military-industrial continuity and refineries became key sites where that expansion was made practical through skilled and semi-skilled labor shift work maintenance inspection and dangerous physical proximity to heat pressure fuel storage and heavy equipment. The archive records that system at worker level where industrial growth appears as crews posing beside process units inside service spaces and at small plant structures rather than as abstract production statistics.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 26 silver gelatin photographs each 2.5" x 4.5" Kern Oil Southern California and Mid West Refineries Grand Rapids Michigan circa 1945-1949. Roughly half the images show refinery infrastructure with dense fields of distillation columns and stacks cylindrical tanks elevated piping steel frameworks service roads and storage areas; one dramatic view shows a damaged or collapsed horizontal tank or vessel within a twisted metal structure. A large painted sign reading "MID-WEST REFINERIES INC." advertises "GASOLINES / FUEL OILS / BURNER OILS / KEROSENE." Other views show broader plant grounds with horizontal storage tanks outbuildings and open yards. The remaining photographs focus on workers posed alone and in groups in overalls work shirts caps and brimmed hats standing beside towers near pipe runs outside small office or shack structures and in work areas with process equipment visible behind them. Several versos identify individuals by name including groupings such as "Perry / Bob Patter / Lou Lane / John Higdon" "Charles Johnson / Bart Klein / 1946" "B. Klein / C. West / D. Golden" one inscription reads "4-15-49 / Place / MAX WERTZ SHACK / M-50 / Lou Peterson."<br /> American oil refining in the mid-1940s stood at the junction of wartime production and postwar consumer expansion. Plants that had helped sustain military logistics now fed the fuel economy that depended on workers whose labor was physically demanding and hazardous. These photographs preserve the named men occupying the industrial landscape that structured their livelihoods. Light wear and minor curling; numerous versos with identifying inscriptions; overall very good condition. A grounded postwar labor archive that places refinery workers inside the machinery of American oil production at the moment petroleum became central to everyday life. unknown

1900WRCAM49847N.p. perhaps Pennsylvania 1900. Silver gelatin photograph 15 3/4 x 19 1/2 inches. Mounted to backing board and framed to an overall size of 20 1/2 x 25 inches. Slight silvering of part of the image light edge wear minor chipping to frame. A very good image. A fascinating image featuring eleven men standing in front of an oil rig complete from engine house to the oil derrick the latter extending beyond the frame of the picture. Most of the men are fairly well dressed and perhaps picture the management of the rig or the oil company that owns the rig. Among the better-dressed subjects is a young boy perhaps in his early teenage years. Two of the men are dressed in overalls and are likely the roughnecks for this particular rig. A rare large photograph capturing the early days of the oil business in America. unknown books

1866235961Titusville: J.A. Mather 1866. 22 stereo cards with printed paper labels on verso titled in manuscript. 3-1/4 x 6-3/4 inches. Some wear to cards images near fine. 22 stereo cards with printed paper labels on verso titled in manuscript. 3-1/4 x 6-3/4 inches. A fascinating and important record of the birth of the oil industry in northwestern Pennsylvania.<br/><br/>British-born John Aked Mather 1829-1915 moved to the United States in 1856 and soon after was introduced to photography by an itinerant daguerreian. Mather travelled through West Virginia and Ohio before settling in Titusville Pa in 1860 with his wife. Edwin Drake of the Seneca Oil Company had begun drilling in August of 1859 and Mather was poised to become the oil boom's photographer of record travelling along Oil Creek River on his flatbed studio. Mather's views of wells and rigs were so popular in their time that owners would request Mather photograph their operations to encourage more investment. <br/><br/>The photographs that Mather took make up the largest and most significant pictorial record of the western Pennsylvania oil boom "a record of the first ten years of the industry a coverage without equal in any nineteenth century technology" Darrah The World of Stereographs p. 80. Notably these stereoviews are contemporary to the boom and thus more desirable than Mather's Historical Oil Region Views published in 1895 from the original negatives.<br/><br/>This group of 22 stereo views includes "Oil Seekers Pithole Penn" "Green Mountain Well " "Champion Wells Pioneer River" "RR Bridge & Pioneer from Oil Creek" "New York Well Pioneer" "Lady Stewart & Lady Brooks Pioneer River" "Petroleum Center Penn" "Fishers Shipping Sheds" "Old Shipping Platform Miller Farms" and the humorous "Sunken Fortune or Ruined Man"<br/><br/>See Giddens Paul H.
