Chick-ogg-o? My folks are from there. I recall the Marathon gas stations as well as Sinclair. Used to have one of the green plastic NY Worlds Fair Dinosaurs too, below is a pic of one from eBay. At that time there were all manner of injection molding machines are various museums---these usually used a sort of molten wax and had a particular smell.
I got a bust of Lincoln's head at the Chicago Museum of Science & Industry and right after it popped out of the machine (still warm and a little soft) I stuffed a pencil thru it's head........"the bullets trajectory" is what I told people. GARSH, I'm sick! LOL
