My wife found this and purchased it for me for Christmas. It's a printing press block for the Esso Oil Drop Boy. Pretty tiny piece of history but I think it's cool. Has anyone else come across them? It seems like they would be fairly rare.

I have had them, over the years. Local stations used them as cheap advertising on fliers and bill heads. Kind of like a paid in full stamp. I have had Mobil and Cities Service. Paul

We have a bunch of stamps like this in a neglected drawer, mostly Mobil I think. I didnt see an Esso boy stamp that sold before on worthpoint. Lots of simple plain ESSO stamps that sell for like $10.

Here are a couple logo print blocks that I have, Bear Alinement and Zephyr Gas.
The next photo is a large rubber stamp block for imprinting cardboard boxes of Zephyr motor oil cans.
