Cards and vintage things: Socony Mobil Oil

Socony stood for Standard Oil Co. of N.Y. Standard Oil was later known as Esso and now Exxon. I got this 1959 Socony envelope as part of my Don & Chris Old Stuff order a while back. I paired it with a card from the 1993 Megacards Babe Ruth set. After a disastrous 1922 World Series the Bambino spent the offseason on a farm, chopping wood and shoveling snow, to clear his head and regain his form. During that winter he posed in the farm holding several Socony cans.
