Aw brings back memories---I met my husband when he worked in 'gas' station while going to school 60 yrs ago. He worked at a 'Flying A'--remember that one MB
Funny how all the Standard Oil companies had to split up--- and 100 years later, they're all recombining.... Mobil (Socony Vacuum) Standard Oil of New York. Fine looking pumps.
Love it. I worked as a summer employee and later my first job out of college with Mobil Oil. I always thought they had the best logo with the Pegasus.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the Pegasus logo. One still sees it occasionally, but don't think Mobil Oil uses it any more.
DeletePegasus is still on the pump and used for the Speedpass system... at least around here.
DeleteIs this a working station or a museum? Mobil has very different colors now. In fact, I see very few Mobil stations in this area.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Do know that you're known around CDP as TFG? Pretty nice.
It is an outdoor display, not a working station. And, yes, I will answer to TFG, but then I also answer to, "Hey You!."

Mobil in Canada is better known as Esso. I am proud to say I remember those gas pumps from my younger days.

ReplyDeleteLove that old pump!
ReplyDeleteNice find. Brings me back to the 1950s.
ReplyDeleteMemories are made of this!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing these old items--reminders of the 'good ole days'!
