Gulf Gas Station Promo

Balsa Wood Airplane Glider


Remember in the 1950's and 1960's when gas stations were called service stations? They pumped the gas 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.

Some small towns in rural areas still used 4 digit phone numbers up through the Late 1970'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. 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 5¢ glider or Nickel Planes sold at dime stores.
