Good morning, I am getting ready to restore a National A 38 pump branded in Feldmans Petroleum Products.
Does anyone have a picture or have seen a real globe, or pump plate, or a sign from this company?
Feldman Petroleum Company was a regional independent gasoline and oil distributor in Chicago Illinois'
Blackhawk 70 Chief and Blackhawk Ethyl were their brands. I am looking for the artwork and colors associated
with this company. Enclosed is the only picture I have been able to find. I have worked with Jim Treadway from
T-way's Graphics on recreating the decal that is on the pump and its colors.
Thanks for any help. Brian

The D.D. Feldman Oil and Gas Company was a prominent

mid-century petroleum firm based in Dallas, Texas .. ... cool

Thanks for the reply, That is the same ad glass I have and the history shows it to be Chicago based stations (1or 2 made it too Wisconsin)
Do you have any info stating it was based in Dallas? The history I have shows 1930-1940s were based in Chicago before being bought out or
dissolving. Thanks again.

The history of major independent Feldman-led petroleum operations primarily centers on D. D. Feldman Oil and Gas, Inc. (founded by oil magnate Dan

D. Feldman in Dallas, Texas) during the mid-20th century, and the regional Feldman Petroleum Company operating a chain of service stations and bulk

plants in Chicago during the 1910s–1930s. .. ... cool

This is the information I have on Feldmans Petroleum Products.
Very little info on this company, I have been searching for a few
years and trying to track down family members for info, no luck.
