Atlantic used the "Red Ball Service" slogan in the 1960's. Part of the campaign was if the station attendant failed to check your oil and wash your windshield your fill up was supposed to be free. The station operators hated the campaign because customers tried getting their gas for free when attendants didn't wash their windshield when it was raining.
These things usually bring around $200 + -

CP:
This may be cheap - but it has some condition problems.
Plus, you need to remember the overall size of these - almost 2' across. That's a big piece to fit in most display areas.
Later . . .

Don't have any idea what company that sign is from. Here is the sign Atlantic used.  Photo courtesy of Aumann Auctions.
