Found this while looking through auctions. If only it survived better. Still a killer sign though.

That's beyond cool...it's sick! I know I've never seen a sign like that before and with a visible pump in the graphics!

I was lucky to find one of these signs about 8 years ago. I would be interested in any photographs (original or copies) showing this sign "in use". I believe it was placed on a fence that abutted the driveway. I would also be interested in any other items that show this sign- road maps, matchcovers, blotters, etc.

...check out the globe on the pump pictured on the sign...I think there are a couple of different versions...

Very neat sign and the graphics of the pump and globe are even better. Sign didn't sell....in my opinion condition issues hampered it's sale.
