Nice signs WES but I can't help with the authenticity! Maybe one of the Texaco guys will chime in! They sure look real??

Wes this guy has been selling these so called lubster signs for awhile now...this is the 1st curved ones though. He used to have the size and that they were rough on the bottom part but now that i questioned him and told him what they were he has since quit adding that info i see...IMO Wes these are cut off of the canadian version of keyhole truck door signs. You can see the mounting holes are in the same place and the size is identical which he doesn't offer up anymore. There is no lubster signs or pump signs that have only 2 mounting holes where these are located. Ask him if the signs are rough on the bottom edge and the diameter. then check the canadian keyhole signs. He knows better as i explained to him what there are exactly but he's not about to share that info to any buyers. You can check his past auctions to see how many he has sold...Hope this helps.

So the signs are original but just not all there, as they are part of another original sign..

Hole pattern makes no sense. He says in the description that there is roughness on the bottom edge. Buyer Beware!

Signs don't look right..
Texaco started using the R with the circle around it
as there trademark in 1959, The Reg TM would be '58
or earlier..why does each set have one of each?
2 & 2 here doesn't add up
