This makes me want to take a trip to Jacksonville, TX, about 50 miles from here and photograph an old vacant Mobil gas station that sports about 10 flying red horse signs. I remember as a child when we would drive through Dallas at night the tallest building on the skyline had a flying red horse on the roof. My dad was always the first one to spot it!

I had forgotten all about the red horse with the wings. Thanks for the memories.
Corporate logos used to be more elegant than the modernist designs popular now.
A very famous gasoline icon. Big one, too. Don't know that one would do with this.
That sign is in VERY good shape. I recall it and the old gas pumps with great fondness.
I love this! I remember when there was one just down the street from our house in Quincy.
Socony, wasn't it? I remember the horse, too.
Great find. I would love to have one.
