Here is a photo of the "Gilmore Lion Clubs".. “Gilmore” the Lion Cub was the official co-pilot of the Gilmore airplane which set inter-city air speed records (and promoted Gilmore Gas) through the ‘20s and ‘30s. Gilmore the Lion Cub is believed to have been the model for “Leo,” the MGM lion. Gilmore the Lion Cub logged more than 30,000 miles and won himself a place in the National Air & Space Museum
