Just found this Mobiloil gargoyle valve today! It's rough, But it is what it is. Reads Mobil Oils on one side & Vacuum Oil Co on the other(can barely see it). Surface is pitted bad in different areas.

The sign looks good Dan, glad you were able to secure the deal on it!
I bought this pair of chaps originally thinking they were probably made for a rodeo cowboy sponsored by Mobil in the 1940's/50's. I later found out they were more than likely made for the guy managing the Flying Red Horse children's ride that toured the country back at that time. It was one of those penny rides that "gallops" for a minute when you drop your coin, but looked like the Pegasus mascot. Either way, I thought they were really cool as I have a collection of old western stuff as well.

Here are some examples of banners. The Freezone ones are each slightly different and date to circa 1940. The Socony banner is earlier, dating from around 1935 with the "climatic control" mention. The Mobiloil can banner would date from the early 1940's. Last, the large 10' wide banner would date from the 1950's. While not in super shape, I found it at Peotone a couple years ago for $10 so I couldn't pass it up!
More to come later guys....

A few Mobil globes. The Mobilgas/Mobilgas Special split globe is one of our favorites.

Will try to get some quart can photos posted in the next few days.

We have used Mobil products on the farm for decades and my Grandpa's brother drove delievery truck for the local Mobil distributor, so naturally a collection of Mobil stuff was "needed"! Great COTM so far!

Here is a group photo of some of our Mobil quarts.
