its a painting of an old gas station with a male leaning up against the building drinking a coca a cola and it had been raining because you see water standing in the drive. There is one gas pump outside that has a texaco sign on it. out front of the building is an old car with a lisence plate reading 196-PYT A sign above the building that says CAFE on it. there is a couple other signs one says Luckies taste better and one that says I'd walk a mile for a camel
These end tables are round,solid wood,2 drawers, 4legs with a rounded wood floor seat, dark finish. I believe they were bought in Philadelphia in the 1920's.
Benjamin A. Watson, one of the early settlers in central Illinois (near Springfield), purchased the Perry Springs Resort (in Pike County, Il.) in 1859. The tea set displayed here was purchased for the resort during the time of his ownership.
Even though they are not a part of the resort property, the miniature spoons are added to the gallery for interest.
