<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1093171, member: 66&quot;]There have been many different promotions from the various gas stations back then.&nbsp; There were a couple of different US President series, a fifty states series, the landmarks series, two different antique car series, probably some others that I can&#039;t remember (There may hav been a dinosaur series, that would have been a natural for Sinclar.).&nbsp; They also did the same type of thing in Europe with different things being commemorated</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The Franklin mint may have stuck the tokens, but they did not run the promotions.&nbsp; The oil companies have been running promotions and giveaways for the purchase of gasoline since the early 20th century.&nbsp; Back in the 30&#039;s I know they gave away glassware and table settings.&nbsp; My grandmother put together a complete eight place table setting of horseshoe pattern glassware including platters, butter dish, pitcher etc, from the gas station giveaways. (Over the years parts were broken, lost, or disappeared but we have now reconstructed the whole set except for the covered butter dish.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
