I don't have a value, but it looks like Jack Benny.

Jack Benny did TV commercials for Texaco back in the sixties and seventies[?]. Jack was noted for being a penny pincher and the commercials played on the good value of Texaco gas.
[or something to that effect- had to dig deep for that one]

Absolutely.. Positively.. Jack Benny for sure.
He was a spokesman for Texaco...
Great sign. Value??? Not a whole lot.
$75.00 to $150.00 depending on condition and conditions...

Thanks for your help. I knew it wasn't a big dollar item. Just kind of unique. I'm surpised that it doesn't state Texaco or anything on it anywhere. I knew of Jack Benny but I'n not old enough to appreciate his work.

I have a few of the pump toppers to match - Texaco and Jack. N.O.S. and for sale.
