By A Customer

This review is from: An Unauthorized Guide to Mobil Collectibles: Chasing the Red Horse (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)

This is a refreshing new look at the collectibles that were Mobil of the early to mid-1900s. This book has over 425 color photos with captions and prices. This books is very similiar in layout to other Schiffer Publications.
