Original oil and gas trade magazine vintage ad for THE PARKERSBURG RIG & REEL COMPANY of Parkersburg, WV. Built to Stand The Gaff. Towering into the skies, fearlessly facing the forces of storms and winds, Parkersburg Derricks stand unflinching. Perfect butt to butt contact of each assembled derrick leg member produces the effect of a single, continuous column of steel, safely distributing the load straight down the legs, eliminating shear strain on the bolts. This unique 1931 old oilfield petroleum well drilling industry equipment magazine advertisement would display beautifully matted and framed. Nice graphics.
