I think the single sided signs like yours were used back to back in a hanging frame to appear as double-sided. The "Filling Station" ones of the same size were. These were used in the 1910's and 1920's.....Dale

Tom, Nice sign! I've got a pair like yours. They are bolted together with inch or so spacers. Scroll down through this thread and you'll see the sign hanging from a pole at an old TEXACO station. Looks like mid 20s to me. http://www.cheesepitstop.com/viewtopic.php?t=6220&sid=61b18f1a105d525c38e216f13349ccbdHope this helps. Rod
Looking to buy or trade old gas station memorabilia such as pumps, globes, cans, signs, free give-aways, S&P shakers etc. from the 20s-60s.
