HELP! Do any of you folks know where I might obtain a matching set of metal tag signs that read 'AIR' and 'WATER'? I need something about 2-1/2" x 8" or so. I want to attach them to the side of my little Mobil station above the air and water hose locations. I've looked and looked for these, but no luck. Reproduction pieces are fine. Thanks for any help!

Rod I had the same problem matching a Mobil oil rack sign,so I took the sign to a sign shop they made a copy of mine that will work until I find the match.
These sign shops can make anything and its a cheap fix till you find the ones you want .Rex

Thanks for the input, however I really only want to do this once. The style I'm looking for are the 'embossed/raised letter' metal tags, usually two-tone painted/enameled with a mounting hole at each end. There was a fellow that attended our local swap meets that had hundreds of different styles of these tag signs- all new pieces, but very well made, heavy gauge tags. I've purchased many from him over the years (Office; Telephone; Wash Room; No Smoking, etc.) but then he just disappeared and I haven't been able to find him since! I've scoured the internet for metal signs, and this style and wording escapes me. But I know they're out there!

rodnut, you might look in Hemmings Motor News under the 'Services Offered' section. There are usually one or two guys that specialize in doing 'one off' repros of I.D. tags. They might be able to help you. Good luck!
