I saw this on e-bay but I thought it was later than 1929 and was related to the Route 66 highway that they started using 66. Can someone tell me when it was?

Phillips "66" gasoline was named in 1927...

From the Phillips 66 website: http://www.phillips66gas.com/ourhistory/

"Phillips 66® also has a history with US Highway 66. In 1927, on the "Mother Road" during a test drive of a newly developed high-octane gasoline, the vehicle reached a cruising speed of 66 mph. The new fuel was named Phillips 66. Even the logo was inspired by the road signs that dot the length of the historic highway. And the rest is history. And gas. Very high performance gas."
