Hey all, I recently aquired a very unique (point of purchase)? display that I have never seen before. I have a few of the Tavern products so it will make for a great display but I would really like to know more about this from the Mobil experts. I purchased it from an older local gentlemen whose grandfather worked for Socony Vacuum. He knew nothing else about it other than it was found in the attic and he had no other items. It is mainly made of wood with wrought iron scroll on top of the stand. Stands a little over 2 ft tall total. Any info or thoughts would be welcome. Thanks
Mainly focused on Oilzum, Jenney, Harris Oil items & original paint gas pumps.

Yes, Id say it would have been displayed on the station inside counter top, or window sill, with all the Tavern Products displayed around it. Many Tavern items, especially the display pieces to show them off, are very "homey" and colonial in appearance, to fit in with their domestic nature, versus automotive.
Good oil cans don't wait for people, people wait for them.
