Mobil Pegasus Neon Sign: Iconic Vintage 5 Foot Gas Station Advertising

This is a rare, original, Mobil Oil vintage neon sign for Standard Oil Socony-Vacuum Oil company from the 1950's that is currently for sale from ArtFactory.com. This vintage sign is a cookie cutter flying horse Mobil sign with new neon lighting. The left facing Mobil Pegasus gas sign is red with white details. This large sign is 5 feet wide, and 60 inches tall with on off neon toggle switch.

This is authentic roadside advertising that was used at Mobil Gas Stations from the 1950's forward. This Mobil Pegasus neon sign proudly shows its battle scars, and is an American iconic artifact from the open road. This is why we feel that these old signs should never be restored entirely and should show their age because it is part of the story and history behind the sign. Take a trip back to a simpler time when soda shops, jukeboxes, black and white televisions, and Elvis were all the rage.
