Glad you started this thread Bob, I was thinking about starting one the other day as I have added a couple new gas related Christmas items in the last year. I will get the pics tonight to add to the post. We did a post like this last year that I really enjoyed, and with new members every year there will always be new people interested in seeing them and maybe adding to the post! Darin

Bob and Dave
Those Santa's are from a time when advertisers used good figure artists. Very nice.
And Rick, have you ever plugged it in and saw it run?

And lastly, a 1930s ESSO card that I am bidding on, so everyone leave it alone!.... Merry Christmas..... LOL Loyd, after reading the name in the card. I wonder if this person was possibly a relative of yours?
