Gulf Gas Station Promo

2 Balsa Wood Airplane Gliders

Gulf Dealers ~ 25^th Birthday Promo

Remember in the 1950's, 60's and 70's when gas stations were called service stations? They pumped the gas, checked the oil, windshield solvent, etc. and they gave out road maps and had promotions that gave away premiums like Pens, Calendars, Thermometers, Toys, etc. We have a small box of these Balsa wood gliders that say, Art's Service Station ~ Phone 2731 and has the old blue and orange Gulf logo. Art was celebrating his 25^th year in business.

Some small towns in rural areas still used 4 digit phone numbers up into the 1980's. The glider has a wingspan of 12 inches and is 8 ½ inches long. It has an adjustable slot in the body for the front wing that lets you slide the wing forward and backwards and put it at angles. The rear wing is adjustable too. This allows the user to either fly straight for distance or do stunts like loop the loops! Typical of the Gas Station premiums, it was like the 10¢ glider or Dime Planes sold at dime stores.

They come sealed in a small cellophane style bag. No breaks or splits, Flies great! Perfect Condition. You are getting Two gliders. We pack them securely in a box and send it First Class U.S. Postal.

 

You get two!   For $7.85
