Standard Gas Station Promotion from the 70's

I used to visit my grandparents (in Chicago) in the summer as a child (early 70s) and I recall grandpa coming home from the gas station once a week with little 3-diminsional collectible pieces the portrayed world flags about the size of the ol' s&h green stamps. Mom says he always shopped at the local Standard Gas Station. Do any of you recall this promotion and more importantly, do you know anyone selling their collection of these?

Don't remember this but did get Chicago Bears glasses from Arco during that same period. Had one that lasted for years before breaking.

I got a few of those Bears 'Highball' glasses from a garage sale. Cousins' family had them growing up.
