This is the first time I have seen a monster of this size: 72"

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390570899188

This must have sat on a POLE to attract customers from miles a way. Say, a gas station off freeway. Am I correct?

Does anyone have a VINTAGE picture showing this sign?

Thanks,

Henrik

It is just the standard 6' sign seen at most every gas station.

Thanks for the picture & the detailed explanation!

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Sold: $2,552.00 (18 bidders)

Good signs bring good money but then again need that audience.

A veteran member asked where all the good stuff are. Here is one good example.

Years ago, people found these items at GARAGE SALES. Right?

Hey Dick

I know where that place is in the picture you posted. I love it there. That is one of my stops when I visit California in December.

Here is a better pic of the sign.
