Not my picture I just happened uppon it on ebay. Thought it was cool. Hope they saved the globes & pumps. I'd kill for everything in that picture! Looks brand new like they were just put it in then got a deluge of rain.  I linked to the ebay auction because thats where the picture came from. http://cgi.ebay.com/30s-Photo-Socony-Gas...=item588a96ea91

Nice Socony Shield!!!! Thats the exact one! I am sure my search will be a long one  These are the only two large ones I have been able to find locally:   I got this for a great price its not in the best condition- but I saw it and bought it. I also picked up a Socony Uniform Quality pump plate this past week which is a nice socony item.

That must have been a new installation when the heavy rains came because that won't happen if the tanks have fuel in them.
Cool picture.
