I am trying to acquire information on this series of candles put out by Mobil. Did they sell them or did they give them away? How many different candles did they have? Was there one series of them or a series a year for so many years? What years were they given out? Any information will be helpful. Thanks, Jack Sim.

Jack,
I don't think they were premiums. Everything I've seen about them makes me think they were sold at outlets other than gas stations.
They were made for many years and there are a bunch of different candles.
I have an igloo with two Eskimos, #781;
Small chior boy set, # 791;
Large chior boy set, # 792;
Small snow boys, # 756;
Medium fawns, # 798;
There were also rabbits, ducks, and many others. They made a bunch of different tapered candles too.
