Jim Patton and his awesome dad are the Barnsdall experts as his dad worked as a young man at the refinery, they have a giant Barnsdall collection and a wealth of information.
Doc, they had alot of stations. I am lucky enough to have 8 different Barnsdall globes.

There are some photos by Russel Lee taken in Pie Town NM showing a post office with Barnsdall pumps in front. I think there was also a Barnsdall station pic on Shorpy.
