NICE SIGN RON.
Similar but differant. I have a 30 sq. double sided por. sign with the blue rays around the ETHYL logo. At the top is says STANDARD, with ETHYL logo in middle. At bottom of ETHYL logo, it says GENERAL MOTORS PRODUCT.
It is my understanding that STANDARD & GM combinded 2 patens to form the ETHYL CORP. about 1922-23.

A little history lesson. "Ethyl’s history began in 1921, when Charles Kettering discovered that a certain combination of chemicals added to gasoline could reduce engine "knock." Kettering formed the General Motors Chemical Corporation, a joint venture between General Motors and Standard Oil of New Jersey in 1923. A year later, the company became Ethyl Gasoline Corporation and, finally, Ethyl Corporation in 1942." Later . . . Jim  ------------------ www.T-waysGraphics.com
