I was just taking pictures of this can for eBay...I've sold several McCollough cans before...and I just noticed the Pegasus!

Anybody know anything about this?

you can see 2 pegasus on the bottom of the can if you look closely!

McCulloch came into existence in 1944. The can looks to be from the 50's or 60's.

1959: Magnolia Petroleum and General Petroleum merged with other domestic subsidiaries into Socony Mobil Oil Company; Two major operating divisions created within the company: Mobil Oil Co. for the U.S. and Canada, and Mobil International Oil Co. for the rest of the world (except the areas in which Stanvac had interests)
