If it is well price I would agree, you should just buy it...Would be fun to remove the layers of paint.

IF it's really old, maybe its a MARLAND OILS sign. Just buy it and that will solve the mystery. The suspense is killing me!!! Keep us posted!

Look at your YMCA picture (I got it from your post in Non-petro discussion and showcase). If you took the triangle and moved it down, it would be a dead ringer for the sign in question.

I am guessing it is a Conoco, and at some point somebody squared off the top of the sign to make a better "field" to advertise their business
