there are 4 on ebay from the same seller- I agree with the above post..

Will need to do more research on these... Over time, I think I've seen these offered from different sellers in different parts of the country (which doesn't mean that the above assessment is not correct).

Greetings again:

Since Randy (aka advertologist) brought it up, I took it upon myself to go through and catalog all off the confirmed Conoco issued states' souvenir decals. A presumption could be made that, with four different variations of each logo (Travel Club & Touraide; pre- and post-'48), there should be about 200 different decals in total (four each for each state, plus Wash DC, minus the two pre-'48 variations for both Alaska and Hawaii).

While a long way from completing the cataloging process, one thing has already become clear: In at least four already documented instances, I've come across exemplars where (at least) two different graphics variations were produced with the same logo type. Here I've shown two different graphics from the state of Washington, both utilizing the green-bordered (pre-'48) 'Touriade' logo.

Mystery solved and you were absolutely correct. This is identified in the Jan 1932 ed of The Conoco Magazine (p. 18) as part of the new "six-color Windshield Sticker that will... identify motorists 'Traveling the Conoco Way.'"... Having "a prominent part in Conoco Advertising in 1932"
