| 10/15/08 | Nick | Hi Peter, I wonder who put the Frantz stickers on your bus, and when? The company was resurrected by George Walker, who was one of the main distributors in the '60s....maybe the van was his? It's now being run by his daughter, Deborah Walker-Harley, as www.wefilterit.com and there is an Australian outlet www.frantzfilters.au I am marketing the new version Frantz in Europe, you may geta a mail from my webmaster...it's be great to have some pix of your Frantz bus on the european site, as there's a big following for the Veedub vans here! Cheers, Nick |

| 06/11/03 | carol frantz | The Frantz filter was invented and patented by John Frantz and then sold to skipper and the Sky co. John Frantz is still alive and well in Hickman Ca. |
| 04/18/03 | Tony | The Frantz Filter was made by the Sky company out of Stockton CA. The Sky corporation has gone out of business, but the Frantz filter has been improved, and is now in production again thanks to the late George Walker. Their web sight is http://www.wefilterit.com/products.htm |
| 04/14/03 | Tony | Have been using Frantz oil filters for years on my old jeeps. These old Jeeps only used by pass filters and the Frantz filters work out well for this application. Does any one know where to get the square "O" ring type gasket for these filters? Also have the instructions on how to install and change the toilet paper filter. |
| 08/28/02 | Randy | The Frantz Oil cleaner Co. was started by Skipper K. Yee in Stockton, Ca, USA. A Farmer, Frantz, in the area was using toilet paper to filter his equipment. Skipper and another person bought the right to the idea and started manufacturing a new design. This was in the '50', I believe. They were sold on a direct marketing distributorship basis. The shield logo predates the oval logo, early '60'. The van that you have belonged to a distributor, who personally sold and installed the filters. I still have two of the oval decals and a lot of literature. Those were great filters and worked exceptionally well. |
