What gas/oil company graphics do you consider to be the best?
For me it has to be Red Indian.

For me I like the early PAN-AM with the WWI soldier on it, the early CONOCO with the Minuteman on it and early Associated Oil/Flying A, especially the ethyl signs.
I guess when I think about it, I like all old signs. Just don't have the scratch to buy them.

Colin:
I agree - for my money the best 'two-color' lens is the Red Indian lens from the McColl-Frontenac Company.
Now if you don't limit the numbers of colors . . . probably the best art would be the TIWOSER lenses and the Gilmore Red Lion and Blu-Green lenses.
Some might like the Polly lenses, but I've never thought the art for the parrot was especially nice - or the color of the bird.
Lets hear what everyone else has to offer.
Later . . .
Jim
