Sign of the month is a day early this month as I will be out of town on the 7th. This month I would like to do Shell Oil. As always try to post the size type and era if known. Thanks and have fun. Below is a 48 inch double sided porcelain sign maybe 40's???. Some Shell expert I'm sure knows the year. So let's go guys. Ted

Thanks everyone so far for posting. Good to hear from England. That's what I like about this site and Shell it's International. Let's see how many countries can post Shell signs. Come on Canada you guys have to have some stuck away up there. Ted

One of my Neon Shell signs

Bought this one as an original, but have since learned that it is a "fantasy" sign.

This sign is very large. I bought it back in Mass. several years ago. It took me another year to get it hauled to Los Angeles. This was before I found "forward air".

An example of something you can do with a little imagination.

This is an original Shell poster that I picked up at one of my gas bashes about 10 years ago. The guy I bought it from found it rolled up with 3 others in a bulk plant in Arizona. I still have a copy of the packing slip that came with it. It was shipped from Shell's advertising department in 1928. Mike
