I remember when they were one of the major brands in WI - back in the 60s. So yeah, it's been 50 years. Wikipedia says there are 2,600 stations operating in 20 Western and Midwest states. But I bet they don't carry Dino bath soap. All gas stations had promotional materials through the 60s, but that all pretty much died with the 1973 oil embargo

So it looks like your uncle has a basement full of collectables? :dance:

I grew-up in northern Michigan, there were many Sinclair gas stations back in those days, not so much now.
