Same with the globes.
Congrats!!
Did he say how it was that he had these?


He worked at a bulk plant years ago and they were going to throw away the signs when they switched colors. So he thought they were neat and saved them in his shed. Since they changed logos in 1959 I guess they are at least 56 years old. He is in his 80's
They distributed Phillips and SHELL.

My Dad did the same thing but it was 35+ years ago. He bought 4 or 5 of these shields NOS as well as other P66 stuff from a guy that had cleaned out a bulk plant. He kept one and still has it and I think he said he sold the others for around $35 each and selling those made his free so at that time it was a great deal! Times have definitely changed.
