Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Showcase and Stories, Petroliana Swan, Asiatic Petroleum Co. Sign

Picked up this sign today! It has some obvious condition issues, some idiot cut the corners off the top. Oh well, I thought it still looked really cool and definitely different. Please tell me anything you can about this sign and the company. What would be its approx. value even with these cuts? Age? The porcelain is heavy as is the gauge of metal also.

Thanks,
Mike

From what I have found so far this is a British company and Shell merged with Asiatic India in 1928 and formed Burmah-Shell Oil Storage and Distribution Co. of India Ltd. I don't have much in the sign and will keep it. Just wondered what it might be worth.
