I am not a Mobil expert. I remember the local Mobil Station in Polson, MT had some checkered flags like the one above on the right as a display in front of the building. Had a three flag holder attached to the building and the flags fell away from the building at a 45 degree angle.
They were also seen at the hydro races (Copper Cup Regatta)on the river outside of town. We used to have a race boat and this would have been in the 1966-69 era. I ended up with one of the flags...(souvenir)that I had for a few years. I don't know if Mobil was still using the Pegasus then or not. Maybe they were just leftovers and were used up.

Alex, did Texaco ever use a checkered flag like these? I don't recall ever seeing one.

I just watched American Pickers tonight and the guys bought what looked like a 36 inch one for $200 at Rocco and Cheaters Speed Shop in ALabama. The owner said he grabbed it from the track.
