Not going to find them this old every day!
Man, what I wouldn't do to have the box off of that wagon!!
This picture really blows some holes in some of what I thought i might now. This shows that the actual "SUNOCO" name goes way back. I still have a lot to learn!!!

Interesting on the red hat station that it appears they cut a notch in the header beam to be able & have a globe on that front visible which appears to be a roman column.

I heard several years ago there is one in a private collection in Detroit. I did not hear who had it though, it would be great to know though, I would love to see it in person. Ron It's in pieces going no where last time (5 years) I was involved. I picked up a bumper he was copying from my friends.
