The "Tough-Film" Slogan: This is your biggest clue. Pennzoil heavily marketed "The Tough-Film" slogan starting in the early 1930s. It was their main selling point—convincing drivers that their oil created a "tough film" of protection that wouldn't break down under engine heat.
Why this matters: By the late 1950s and 1960s, they shifted their marketing to the "Z-7" additive (you might remember the Arnold Palmer ads). Since this banner doesn't mention Z-7, it represents the earlier, classic era.
The Bell Logo: The Liberty Bell has always been their symbol (because the oil came from Pennsylvania), but this specific version—with the heavy block text "THE FILM" flanking the bell—is a hallmark of the pre-war and WWII era.
