According to ( Guide To Gasoline Logos ) they don't show a lot of history about the co. Mohawk Petroleum San Francisco , Ca
1930s-1970s I was kind of interested also. Thinking about doing a pump in that brand. Good looking logo.

Great pictures, thanks. So it seems that the Canadian version was white or cream, where as the early picture I saw in check the oil book was maroon and black.
