Hi, question regarding Sinclair in Mexico
From what I know Sinclair was sold in Mexico by the Pierce Oil Company SA in the 30s.
Has anyone seen this sign before? Also a picture of the oil company building
Thanks
Henry

Cool sign, with a photo to back it up.

Cool sign, with a photo to back it up. Even the dimensions seem to match. The sign measures 10 feet x 1 foot. If you use the short man on the left as a gauge, the sign is a somewhat less than twice as long as the man is tall...so I'm happy I found the picture.

The round Sinclair rooster signs show up from time to time. There is also a DSP rooster keyhole sign. I have seen a recent picture of the horizontal Opaline sign as shown in the picture above and there is a reproduction rooster globe also as shown above. I think I have seen a picture of one can from Mexico and a wood shipping crate from there.

I have a wood shipping crate or box from El Aguila in Mexico, and have seen cans from El Aguila, but none from Sinclair in Mexico. I also have a globe from Gasolina Huasteca (Huasteca Petroleum Company, a subsidiary from Standard Oil).
