ORIGINAL 1965 Mobil Gasoline Service Station Ad Mr. McKinley Satisfied Motorist - $11 - (Cushing, ME)
Mobil was our family's go-to brand for decades - windshield squeegeeing, oil stick-checking attendant, credit card and all. Mr. Kenneth H. McKinley (pictured here relaxing with his football player son) knows what we all think back on fondly - that the Mobil gas station operator of 1965 offered some kind of amazing car maintenance service - for free, while filling up your tank for you! We rescued the ad (overall yellowed from age but as you see in photos, nothing tragic) from a 1965 news and culture magazine and trimmed off the browned or frayed edges - all set for you to mount, frame, use in your crafting or throw in an acrylic frame or magnet back and decorate your fridge, retro den or finished garage workshop, next to the shelf that holds your spare bottles of motor oil. ;) 13" X 10" We ship between cardboard and in poly mailers. We always ship with care. Collect a bunch ~ We combine shipping! A LITTLE FRIENDLY SHOP TALK: We are crazy about old ads and ephemera. Our store is as creative a project as it is a money-making venture. We rescue any ads that appeal to us, regardless of condition. We are probably not the store for the mint condition crowd - we often trim away blemishes, rips, browning edges and other ugly scars of a long magazine life. Sometimes we cut wacky shapes to save an ad from being unloved and trashed. While we often leave too little edge for standard matting, we feel our buyer is, like us, wanting a genuine old ad (or many) to have fun with - ready to craft your own collage or throw in an acrylic frame or magnet back and slap on the fridge or wall with no formal fuss. (As we always say - you ought to see OUR OWN fridge!) We will always indicate any real damage or noticeable blemish, but otherwise be sure and mouse over the photos to see condition. Thank you for browsing and shopping our steadily expanding store. Please message us with any questions or even if you just wanna jaw about old stuff.
