This is an ice scraper from Smith Sunoco, located at the intersection of East Sullivan and Market Streets. The owner, known as “Smitty”, was a friend of my boss at the time. Thus, I got my gas and service at this station.
The Pure Oil Company brand ceased to exist in 1970. This is a cloth patch about 2.75″ in diameter. I seem to recall that there was a Pure gas station at the interesection of Center Street and Memorial Boulevard, just west of the fire station.
I found this at an estate sale. The actual size is 4.5″ x 2.5″. It’s a cloth patch made, I suppose, to be worn on a uniform.
