[QUOTE="KenWBoyd, post: 85657, member: 4556"][b]Gates Mystery Man Awards[/b] I'm new to this forum and found it through a Google search. I worked for a Philips Gas Station in Downers Grove, IL from about 1967-1970. One summer a car stopped in and just asked me to check the oil. My boss pulled me aside and told me to make sure and check the fan belt. The oil was OK but the fan belt was worn. When I pointed it out to the driver, and explained why I felt it needed to be replaced he excitedly told me that I won! He presented the Car Engine award plaque. The medialian is dated 1969. I'm not sure of the date of the other award with the 5 1887 Morgan Silver Dollars. The dollar coins in the "5 pack" award seem to be in very good condition. I've had these proudly displayed in the years since because it's the only "sales" award I ever (or will ever) receive. :) Ken [IMG]http://www.cointalk.org/gallery/files/4/5/5/6/GatesMysteryManAwards.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
