Little River Village Marathon Gas Station
Townsend, TN
From collectors
This is a Marathon Gas Station (Not a Texaco). The machine is outside the entrance to the stations store just outside the National Park Boundary.
There are two Marathon gas stations. It is NOT at the one by the ACE hardware. It’s the other one.
The Machine is a Push - Button Choice Automatic Roller. Designs are:
1) A Vertical Deer with Legend Cades Cove at the top and Townsend, TN at the bottom
2) A Horizontal Eagle with Legend Clingman's Dome at the top and 6,642 FT at the bottom
3) A Horizontal Bear with Legend Great Smoky Mountains at the top and National Park at the bottom.
10/6/2024 the machine is outside the KOA Holiday Camp Store and Marathon gas station. There is a big red and yellow "Welcome to Townsend" KOA sign next to the parking lot.
The machine is the type that has a light next to each picture, when the light is lit, that is the penny selected. The light does not work, all are lit, all the time. If you want all three pennies, just do three in a row. If you only want one, no telling which one you will get. They do go in the same order as the pictures, top to bottom.
