hello all, i know ive posted these on here before but was wondering if anyone might recognize anything hanging in the windows of the garage all ive been able to identify for sure is in the the color photo in the window next to the pepsi machine there is a champion spark plug clock, which i was able to track down and buy one, its not the one from the garage its hard to say where it ended up at. wondering what the blue and white thing is in the window under the Exxon sign. ant help is appreciated. i know they are not the clearest photos but they are all i have.

Looks to be a Seal Power Piston Clock ?

Here is mine but maybe I'm wrong

I'd say trifiver is dead on,it's a Sealed Power Piston Rings clock.

Posting this pic only since I am a fan of ANY Champion Spark Plug CLOCKS….

I own this one, the ‘text’ rotates to display a longer message.
Cheers

Not sure if you noticed the shadow on the wall, but there is a PA vehicle inspection sign to the left of the Pepsi machine.

Sawed in half door is a nice reminder of things we used to do.

oh wow!!!! yes id say thats exactly what it is, ill have to keep an eye out for one of those now. i have no idea where any of this stuff ended up it he passed away before i was born, and it was sold. the building is still there but has been added on to and turned into a motel. im trying to track down the wrecker he had but keep hitting a dead end on that too.

has anyone ever ran across the red exxon letters above the one window?
Posted By: Speedracer Re: questions about gas station photos - Sun Sep 04 2022 04:17 AM
No, but I have an Exxon sign I’d sell you.

It’s the same sign as the one in the photo, but it’s actually two signs back to back in the original frame. And I’m nicer condition. $2500. I can send you pics of your interested.

i do want to get a double exxon sign with the frame at some point, i have a blurry photo of the front of the garage and there is that exact sign hanging on the pole out front.
