Object Details
- Description
- Mobiloil was registered by the Standard Oil Company of New York (Socony) at the U. S. patent office as a trademark in 1920. The company became the Mobil Oil Corporation in 1966. Although the Mobil oil brand became marketed under the now-familiar Pegasus, this sign's 'gargoyle' was also one of the ways that the company branded their product and tried to get people to buy their oil.
