This display of globes was posted above the entrance of the Ostermans Garage in Stockholm, Sweden.
Ostermans sold Fords and had the most fancy sales room in Stockholm called the "Marble Halls". After Ford moved out, the Marble Halls used to host Swedens first "Hot Rod Show" in 1968 and onwards.

Tha garage below the Marble Halls also had a gas station selling all those brands of gas.

I see that I now have managed to collect all globes in the display :-)

Another Farmall near a pump

Bath, Illinois,

So disheartening to think most of these pumps, signs and related stuff wound up in the dump, crushed and destroyed. If I could only go back, LOL. I recall being around this old stuff everyday when I worked for my Dad. He owned 2 Texaco's and a Gulf station. Never thought anything about this stuff then. Boy, I sure do now.

Two of the photos are of the same Brilliant Bronze station, one of which features a covered wagon, perhaps in a parade. I'm guessing these were taken in the area of Cleveland, OK, where my father's family lived.

Great pics! Keep them coming.

Over the last two days I've been glued to my laptop checking out all 121 pages of this thread. Tons and tons of great photos! Alas, I only saw a single Husky image (of just the sign in the background) so I thought I'd remedy the situation with this photo.

On a different note, the Fish Inn photos on page 13 brought back good memories. I have family in the Silver Valley of northern Idaho, and dropping into the Fish Inn to have a beer (it was just a tavern at that time, 80's-90's) was a treat. The structure was located right at the intersection of Interstate 90 (old US 10) and State Route 3, at the east end of Fourth of July Pass. Sadly, it burned down in 1996.

Cody Wyoming, I used to fuel up there every time I went elk hunting. My brother lived 20 miles from there. No longer there now the site of a Walgreens. Mitch

This picture just pasted through my facebook and i had to post it.
