This one made me laugh.
First let me say, The seller does NOT misrepresent this sign. It is about the fact someone took time to create such a piece in detail in the first place.

Here we have a Marathon Beer sign, representing the Marathon Oil Logo from the 1930's. Creator went to so much detail as to create the pyrimid above the Runner that is on the 1930's maps...

Now my concern. -- If someone actually buys this I could hurt myself ROFLMAO.

It would almost have been worth it if the runner was holding a beer can!

Yes there is ! I'm about 50 miles (as the crow flies) north west of Marathon right now. My new bride and I are visiting with my sons. It's hot and humid here and we can't wait to get back to the coast.
