First of all, I've never been a Collector of Standard Oil, per se. So if I get something wrong, please excuse my ignorance....
Since I've been old enough to remember, I've been drawn to ESSO's Oil Drop Man/Kid (heard him called both)...
I've read on the 'net that the logo was first used in Holland around the end of WWII. It was used to help explain shortages because of the war... The logo was first used in the U.S. around 1958 through the mid 60s...
