OP Stephenwarren30 Petro Enthusiast Joined: Mar 2015 Posts: 705 Likes: 17 Central Texas	I just bought a Conoco Ethyl 30 inch like the one pictured. I am traveling and shipped the sign to myself without taking the actual sign photo. Does anyone know the date and info on these black rimed signs verses the ones that have the dark green rims? Thanks for any help!

I was wondering if these repops are fashioned after a true legitimate Conoco Sign. That is the bit of info I cannot find.....or am I in a heavy state of denial?!

I'm sure it's a fake ...I'd ask for a full refund... ...the characteristics of the fonts used in the Ethyl logo are a dead-on match to the counterfeit from India...it's just been aged... Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...
