Have been looking for one of these for awhile. Was lucky enough to pick up a pretty much NOS double sided one at an country auction today for a great price.
Set against my 59. This sign dates from about the same time as my car. It's going to look great hangin' from the ceiling!
.....and a couple of other goodies picked up at same auction. Believe it or not that was about it for that auction. A couple of other cans, but they went too high for me.
I got this Double sided Flange NOS KOOL MOTOR sign in a little town in Eastern Colorado on the way to the Front Range Gas Bash.. Still had the paper on it.. The double oil dispenser came from an auction last week. It has the old Sinclair striped lids. I need a pump for it the farmer threw it away 40 years ago ??? The Phillips 66 sign is also NOS my son Besgar found three of these,double side tin dated 1940 Cool.. Sorry to fool you Rarn To Go.. Was showin off my good luck to Johnnie from New Mexico..

That "milk can" is a bulk oil can. There are several kinds and the best ones have the oil company embossed on them or a tag. I have a Union, Shell and Standard version.
THUNDER II: The pump on the left looks exactly like the pump on my Phillips lubester (sorry Jack, oil dispenser). I have a serial number plate for it, but I can't figure out where it goes. Is there one on yours? If so, can you post a picture showing me thge location.
