Not even sure what this is exactly. The picture was from Florida. And certainly one of the oldest Sunoco pics I've found.
Any idea's?

You mean the establishment or the pump or? Not sure of your question.....looks like the place might still be a garage/livery stable, as old as it appears..

No, the goofy Sunoco sign hanging on the pump in the blow up picture. I wish I could make out the image on the round part above "Sunoco". And what it says below it.

57CameoGuy is correct, Winter Garden Heritage Foundation. Whatever that is.
There is a high res version of the pic here if you want to check it out. Save to your computer, open with a viewing software, and then you can zoom in pretty good.

They sure went big with thier signage in those days!!
Can you imagine laying out and painting all that on the building!
