I found a Tidewater-Associated Oil Publication that is about how to "clean" a Customer's Windshield.... In it are photos of actual Flying A Windshield Service Cabinets... I tried to get as close as I could to the cabinets in use during the late 40s... Of course my cabinet is a different brand and the decal is not exactly the same.... Still pretty close, if I say so myself.... Looking for Tide Water/ Tide Water-Associated/ Tidewater items

Don't want to hijack your thread, but here's two of mine with original paint and decals. The Mobil box was found years ago in the back room of a station on the shelf.
