In Aug. of 2013 (man, how time flies); I did a thread on Paper and Balsa Airplane "Give-aways"... I played with such items as a youngster and honestly if I had a bigger backyard.... I still would be enjoying the flight of Balsa Airplanes.... The first Oil Company Aircraft give-aways that I personally know of; was by The Gulf Oil Company in the late 1920s: In the 1930s, Gulf, Mobilgas and Associated Oil (most likely there were others. But I have not been lucky enough to run across them, yet) All had Paper Airplane Give-aways for their "Younger Customers"... As of yet, I do not own one of the Mobilgas Pegasus Gliders. Maybe, someday? But, I do own a few other paper and balsa Gliders. Most notably a Sunoco, (thanks to Steve C.) and received today a Sun-Rae (F.B. Rae Oil Company), neither I had seen before:

Nice collection!
That's one of the irony's of life. When we are young...we can't wait to grow up. As we age...we wish somehow we could turn back time.

I remember these planes. Sadly, I haven't any.

Bob, I would post my Sunoco glider for you but you stole the only one I've ever seen. Just kidding of course!! And although I appreciate the shout out, that glider is exactly where it should be. It looks absolutely great in your collection!!!! Also, I love the two pieces in that first picture!!! What/who is that old airplane one on the left?

Steve, thanks again for being so understanding about me; Stomping all over your bid! As to the Airplane "Flying Toy"; The back tells the story: The directions(the very small print) read: Grasp end of string, whirl around in circles-or over the head. Will hum best when the cardboard is straight.... (Arthur Von Senden Co. - Pgh,Pa.) The back of the "Rocket Ship Flying Toy": And the Directions read: Hold end of string, whirl around in circles...
