Does anyone have Shell station photos? Maybe we could turn this into a Shell Station page?

Anthony, have you looked at the thread in the Showcase Forum called "Great Old Pics"... I know it has numerous images of Shell Oil Stations... At 130 pages and growing, I am positive that it already has some of what you are looking for....

I bought it on ebay. It is an original piece. If some one were building or restoreing a 30s Shell gas station this book would tell you how every thing is painted inside and out. It even tells you if a lubster was outside it would be painted different than one that was inside.

I remember having that book in my Ebay watch when it was listed, thought it was one of the most interesting of its type I had seen. I have a similar one put out by Socony-Vacuum (Mobil) and feel they are an invaluable guide for restorations with the specifics they contain. Glad you were the one to get it Matt.

Martin,
The similar S-V book I have was put out in the 50's so there is no comparison of the deco styles of the 30's Shell stations being much more beautiful. I would like to leave this thread all Shell so could PM you some pics from my Mobil book if you are still interested. Send me a PM if so!
Thanks,
Darin

"that's some outstanding reference material.... thanks for putting on... never seen anything like that... any idea what date it was made?"
The typed pages have dates. There are different dates ranging from 1932-1937, so I would guess it is from 1937 or 1938.

bought this sign today & the font of the "S" in Shell appears to be a little different than anything else I have, in Matt's pictures this appears on page 4 on a truck- does anybody else have anything Shell with this font on it & what would it date too?...
