Shell Ground Crew Service - Military Emblems

In 1942 with the war on and gasoline rationed, Shell Oil and its gasoline dealers gained a new emphasis on lubrication and service. 8 squadron emblems were issued as part of a Ground Crew Service Promotion and were given away to customers and prospects. The emblems printed on a canvas like material were colorful and are now quite uncommon. Complete sets are rare since wartime materials scarcity limited production. The round emblems were approx. 2 5/8" diameter, the ovals 3 1/4" x 2".
