Pawn Stars! We bought this sign at a pawn shop in Springfield MO. Double sided porcelain 48 inch. Great sign in great condition. Sign is a 9 + condition with original hanger. We practically stole this sign we purchased it so cheap.

Hello All, It's been a while since I posted any buys, so here are some highlights. I FINALLY won a glass body, so now my Mobilgas Ethyl has a "proper" home! I got if off of the Capco, now it looks correct.  I purchased the larger 1936 Mobilgas poster on Ebay, then got to be pretty good pals with the seller via email. He said he had another Mobil poster which I ended up purchasing as well. I thought the Mobilgas Ethyl poster is a neat go along item with my globe. I think the "NEW" Ethyl came out in 1934 as far as I can tell. I love the graphics on these. The yellow poster is quite large and I had to have the frame made for that one. I think it looks great. Paper to me is much more rare than any porcelain or metal sign, I just wish there were more out there to add!  Lastly, here is a pic of some of the "smalls" additions. I got the gallon Gargoyle and window sprayer from Russ Jacobs, and the paint can from another Old Gasser Justin. Thanks guys. The Huffman oil bottle came out of a local shop pretty cheap. The UW grease can I bought cheap as well as it was not well described on Ebay. I've seen them sell for 2-3 times what I got this one for, and it is nice! Last item of note is the little Zippo magnifier. It was made in 1976 and has a fuel delivery truck on it with Pegasus on the tank. Not as old as I normally collect, but it was made the year I was born so I thought that was cool. OK, enough for now. Have a great day all, Darin

Hi DW,
I too love the graphics of paper advertising;just can't be beat IMO.I have several framed posters.Another collector,more experienced than I am,looked at one of them and said "that's as good as a porcelain sigh".That made me feel better about what I spent to have it professionally framed!!
I also display a few framed pages from old Life magazines advertising Texaco and Atlas tires and batteries.Graphics are great and they don't take up much room.

Joe Thanks, I thought so too. I passed the sign up at first and then went back for it. He had 2 of them. This one was still in his van. Both were N.O.S, but the other one had a marble sized dimple in it from the back like he put it on something instead of laying it flat. Mike
