What year is this sign? I traded for it this morning, just checking to see what you guys think of the sign before I tell you what I traded.

GOOD TRADE !!!,

I think the "unsurpasssed" was very late 30's to mid 40's vintage.

Real nice! I likes it!

OK OK OK Some good guesses. I traded the bike. Here is a picture of the other side of the sign and the bike i traded. Did i do ok?????

I think you did alright..

OH MAN that Bike was a Really RARE ONE OF A KIND SURVIVOR! LOL
I'd have traded it in a NANO SEC w/o ever looking back.

Thanks guys. So was this a curb sign? if so what base did they use??? Any pictures of one at a station?

Any more Help? IS there lots of these signs out there?

you did extremely well, Bike $150. maybe $250. on a perfect day with 2 bidders that had to have it. Sign $$$

Thanks I normaly don't say what I pay for something. I payed $100.00 for the bike I thought I was doing good. I was told the guy was a bike collector and picked up lots of stuff through the years, I asked him if he had and old signs he said I have 2, one is a carter about 6 ft and i have one that is tin and is a off brand gas company but it was at home, I told him I would like to see the tin sign. I went back the nextday, when i pulled in the driveway there was the sign leaning against the car my warrden said that is porcelin I said ya, and I said I will trade for the bike right then she just looked at me like that was the right trade. I walked in the shop and the guy said sorry the sign is not tin it is porcelin hope that is ok i said that is fine. so he came out and looked at the bike first thing he said was that bike is rough, I thought great no trade and this guy does not sell anything he only accepts trades. he looked at it for about 5 minutes and said I guess I will trade you because I got the sign free years ago and you probably got the bike for free I said no you did better then me I paid $100.00 for the bike he said I got the better deal. SHOULD HAVE I TRADED FOR THE (CARTER SIGN????)

IMO, NO.

I think it was a good deal how they going to ride that bike it has no rubber

Don't need tires when riding in a dirt field!
How do your pumps pump gas w/o Guts or a Hose?
LOL

Any History on the company? or any more help. was this a montana company also?

The California Oil Company (Calso) was a subsidiary of the Standard Oil of California until 1958 when all of the stations were renamed Standard Chevron.

Was the calso name for the montana area gas companys? Before the war? if so i think this sign is before the war era. help some more.

I have a bike that I'll trade you! LOL

Kevin better be a good one. LOL

IT is on ebay
