According to ( Guide To Gasoline Logos ) they don't show a lot of history about the co. Mohawk Petroleum San Francisco , Ca
1930s-1970s I was kind of interested also. Thinking about doing a pump in that brand. Good looking logo.

That is exactly what we are doing. There is a picture of a station in the original check the oil book of a double with the Mohawk but can't find anything else.

Here is a very custom steel truck in MOHAWK. Belongs to a friend. I manage all of his toy restoration work. Built by a master craftsman. 30 inches long!

Great pictures, thanks. So it seems that the Canadian version was white or cream, where as the early picture I saw in check the oil book was maroon and black.
