The caption on the back of this photo reads: "1912-Shell's Seattle Dept. Westlake Ave. and Highland Drive. Site of present division office. Property acquired Sept. 27, 1912." It's hard to get any detail in a 50 KB or under jpg image, but note the sign on the office to the left that says "American Gasoline Company". The caption on the next one reads: Photo credits to Seattle Historical Society. [This message has been edited by gaspower (edited 12-17-2006).] IP: Logged |

Frank Jordan's Shellane Bottled Gas sign on page 3 shows the same pecten as the one Jim White (leonardoil) asked about on page 1. Franks says he thinks that logo was from "the fifties and maybe the forties." ------------------ IP: Logged |

Location unknown, but I guess Southern Cal. I'll be posting more station pics if I can get through some copyright issues. Anybody else got any good station pictures? IP: Logged |

A few more globes and thanks to Bob Drake for the pics 15" Green Streak, Shell's motor grade fuel, and #1 on my wanted list. 12 1/2" three piece globe, very rare, maybe only a couple known to exist, anybody have any info to add on this? One piece "canteen" globe, not sure on the time frame for use, probably 20's. Super Shell version [This message has been edited by gaspower (edited 12-24-2006).] IP: Logged |
