SkyChief gasoline was introduced in 1938.
I have a SkyChief 12x18" curved PPP dated 3-40.
The latest dated SkyChief w/ Petrox 12x18 PPP I have is dated 3-9-64.
1962-63 Texaco started changing over to the Hex logo.

Just a side note one the "date". The date on Texaco pump plate only signifies when the design was approved Texaco. That's why you see a lot of pump plates with the date 3-1-47 (or something close to that, I'm in office away from my signs).
When the design was approved again, it was re-dated.

Mine is 3-41, makes sense the curved PPP would be dated earlier I guess ?

You'll never find anything earlier than 1940 because that when they started producing porcelain plates, same for Fire-Chief.
Jamie where did you hear that story, never heard it. I've probably seen most of the dates except for 43, 44 because of the war efforts.

I agree with Blacktee...I have never seen one dated 43 or 44 ...Even Randy's 3-42 is about the last ones produced before the plants shifted to war production. Whats the earliest 45 plates out there? WW2 didn't end til Sept of 45.
