That's a service station sign. Most I believe had a decortive bracket on a pole. Most were marked on the bottom Property of the Indian Refining Company, around 1926-1929 in white lettering.

Look closely in the 3rd & 4th photos of this auction.

I'll post a photo of a sign with the original bracket attached when I get to the office in an hour or two. Real nice guy to give you that sign, and obviously because he was impressed with you as well. That speaks measures about you. Nice to hear!

Pump looks great! Can't go wrong with Ron Scobie... If he doesn't have it, he has a good idea where to get it. The sign is a great plus also!!
