**EMBLEM PETROLEUM - LOS ANGELES, CA:
Emblem was an independent marketing company organized by C. M Fuller, former president of Richfield Oil, in November 1931. Brand names include Liberty and Flash gasolines. It appears that Emblem's gasoline marketing was absorbed by Richfield sometime in the mid 1930s, but Emblem, relocated to North Long Beach, California, seems to have developed a market for diesel fuel, which it marketed under the Emsel brand.

Kim,
The person whom you visited, here in Spokane, when we met each other, had this one but I don't remember if the other side was good or not. Pic is c. 2014ish a few months before we met. I can't recall if he mentioned where this one came from but if you remember his stories, he was all over the west coast digging through shut down bulk plants. It was amazing to be a fly on the wall while you two were swapping stories!
I know nothing about the company tho.
