Great stuff everyone!

Here are a couple of signs I picked up recently.

The star and key symbol on the arrow signs Scott posted are the trademark for Starkey gas pumps. Starkey manufactured token/coin operated visible gas pumps in the 1920's. They were based in Ft. Collins, CO They were used by Oriental at their gas stations. I'm not sure what Refino was yet but there is some speculation that Starkey set up their own stations using the Refino name.
All the other names on the signs are towns in Colorado.

These were my buys from Vics Auction. The Red Crown globe is from Standard of Ohio and was used 1928 -30. The auction listed it as a 16.5" globe but it is actually a 15". To my knowledge Sohio never used a 16.5" globe.
The base is 7" which is typical of Sohio globes. The Fortune pump sign had chips in the top of the "O" and "R" and some edge chips. I have touched them up and it displays pretty good.

are calked in but the back one is
cracked.
