Hello,

I would like to start collecting gas station patches. Who ever collects them, can you post a pic of your collection.

Thanks

I have many in my own collection. I'll see what I have and take pics hopefully soon.

I still have a couple of patches left. Looking back I probably shouldn't have sold the ones that I did sell:

BOB, Nice collection !!!

Thanks Tom... If I hadn't sold so many patches, I would have had easily 4 times the number I have now and each was different.... I get bored too easily at times... LOL

i only have flying-A- PATCHES,I`LL POST A PICTURE IF THAT`S OK..ALAN

I buy mechanic shirts and put all different brands all over. Sorry don't have a picture but they look cool.

An older photo of some of my patches.

Well you probably can see a trend in this but. The top three came off of my coveralls when I retired. Mitch

great collections guys, I have a drawer full of them I should do something with. I'll pull them out a post a photo soon.

...I know I have left out a few, and the Bear Alinement patch is shown in several photos (I was trying to find the other one I had, so I left it out), but here's a bunch of them...these are just the gas/oil/tba/auto-related...got a bunch of other advertising patches...

Here is the start of mine. Sorry I did not post pics.

Wow I don't know if anyone has posted collections before, but those are GREAT!
Thanks everyone for the look...

I found this old thread and figured I’d add to it. I’ve been collecting patches for about a year and 1/2 now and this is most of my collection!

Some of my large and smaller ones I haven’t framed yet.

Nice collection, Mark. Glad you brought up this old thread.
Here's a display of my Buick dealer and body shop patches that I framed last winter. Many of the patches were from my uniforms or issued to me to wear over the years. Some are older than me.

Posting a photo of my newest patch frame.

Couple from a Texaco Star Dealer package

Now those are cool Reb!

I always like to check out this thread to see who has added photos of their collection. I have finally found the time to get photos of my patch collection. The pics are attached for your enjoyment.

Too many patches (and too many photos) to get them all in one post. Here is photo group #2.

I am always interested in any leads on rare or unique gasoline or oil patches that I do not have in my collection.

Pakymn, you could open a patch museum with the collection you have!!! Those Sunray Patches are my favorite, I have never seen them and I look for patches all of the time. Very nice.

A few more patches that I recently added to my collection.

I don't collect them, but I recently stumbled upon these on eBay for the St. Paul, Minnesota based Oskey Brothers Petroleum Corporation's North Star stations. I have an uncle who worked at one of these full service stations in the 1960s. I'm sure these patches or something like it was part of his uniform.

Hey pakymn. I just spied this KO patch in your collection. Any chance of getting an isolated closeup image of this one? I'm wondering what you can tell me about this. Is this from the Kunz Oil Company's KO stations? Thanks.

Oskey Brothers was acquired by Northwestern Refining Company of St. Paul Park in the 1950's. Northwestern retailed gasoline through SuperAmerica, Laurie Gas, Trax Oil, North Star and Webb stations when in operation.

Norhtwestern was acquired by Ashland Oil in 1970. Ashland eventually changed the stations to SuperAmerica or sold them off.

I worked at the old Northwestern refinery and came across some of these patches there.

Thanks for this. This is all very helpful. I didn't know Northwestern acuqired Oskey Bros so early, though I should have known it

Added a couple new groups of patches. Several I hadn’t seen before!

Added several NOS patches to the collection. I had never seen the Gray Blue and White Sterling patch and would be curious to hear if anyone had any info on that! My favorites of this group are the MARS, Sterling, Jenney Aero and the Autolite patches.

Some recent patch additions to my collection.

I'm not a patch collector per se, but do buy Mobil, Marathon and a couple other brands for my brand collections when I see them. I just got this one and thought it was pretty unique as I've not seen one before. I know Mobil had their own press guys that put together the company magazines in the different regions around the country. I assume they sported these patches on their uniforms.

Here are the latest patch additions to my collection.

I collected stickers (decals) and patches in the early 70's. Here's a few.

Pleased to add several tough to find patches.

Mark You need this one!

Here's a patch for one of my favorite stations, 9L.

My latest find: Zephyr 8"

Hi pakymn, would it be alright with you if I download, save, and printout some of the photos of your patch collection? This would be strictly for personal use only. Please let me know if that would be alright, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
