...a Diamond Jubilee is either 60 or 75 years, according to Wikipedia - and Valvoline began in 1866...that means this sign is from 1941, as they weren't canning oil in quarts like the one pictured in 1926...
Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

I bet "Mr. Cavalcade" here on Oldgas can shed some light on this item.

Gulfiend is dead on with this analysis. It was founded in 1866, yet trademarked in 1873, thus the only thing I might add is that I am reasoning that this puts the sign at 1948 and commemorates it's 75th birthday from trademark date. Either way....it is a scarce sign. One I would like if it wasn't a bit out of my budget.
Looking for early valvoline, freedom-valvoline, franklin pa items, Galena
