Leaded Gasoline

Anyone remember leaded gasoline? Even more impressive than the sign saying there was lead in the gasoline distributed by these pumps is the fact that the little price indicator windows allowed for only three digits, all that was necessary at the time since it would be the mid 1970’s before gasoline topped $1 per gallon.

These pumps are on a friend’s property in front of an old restored building that looks a bit like a General Store; note the out-house in the background. 

The shot was taken with my Olympus XA2 shooting Kodak Tri-X, my all-time favorite black & white film, and is offered here from the archives for your viewing pleasure while I await the results of my latest photo-exploits from The Darkroom.
