when you think you've heard it all, quite a story:
Mobil Porcelain pump plate/sign .Very small at about 8 1/4 across convex shaped back and about 8 3/4" from top to bottom .There are two numbers near the bottom 12 and 41 , This could be the date of the sign . I do not know . The sign is curved as if it were once mounted to a round pump . It is fairly heavy for it's size . It is chipped , scratched , rusted , dinged , and has many scars .It is stained with what looks like rust .Not mint by any measure . I am now blind, and can no longer enjoy this sign , but my friends say this is a beautiful sign . My grandfather gave me this sign just before he passed away . I know it was greatly loved by him . (I do not know the age or origin of this sign) other than where and how I got it .I have to rely on another person for shipping , so please forgive me if I take a few days to ship it

My grandfather gave me this sign just before he passed away.

Being that signs are a visual thing (to be looked at), why would you give one to a blind person ???
