OP upsgaspumps Petro Enthusiast Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 268 Oregon	I would like to know if this Porcelin Shell Sign is a pump plate sign. It came on a Wayne 40A that I bought from a farmer about 6 years ago. It is single sided. Would also like to know what it's approx. year would be. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Bill
