I almost couldn't get all the way through the end of the listing because my eyes had welled up with tears......

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 ???

All the signs he got from grandpa. How can someone take pictures, list an item if they cannot see? If a friend did this, wouldn't it read "listing for a friend who is blind"?

You know when you lose one sense, the others compensate for it. I guess even a blind man cant see that. Maybe he should have got his seeing eye dog to look at it first.

Seller has 0 feedback as a seller and 19 feedback as a buyer....not bad for a blind person to be buying on e-Bay.
The absolute lack of conscience is appalling!

Completed auction Ebay Shell Sign Shell Porcelain pump sign . Very cool looking sign . Rusty , chippped .dinged . The condition of the sign can be seen in the pictures . From my Grandfather who gave it to me before he passed away . He loved old signs and gas pumps . I do not know the age or origin of the sign , but Grandpa had it for many years . It could be an old re-production .I do not know about signs ,and I am blind now , and can not enjoy it's simple beauty . It is heavy for it's size . The design feels as if it is raised above the background . It measures about 11 3/4 tall and about 11 1/2 wide . I am blind so allow a little extra time for shipping . Paypal only please . Ships to USA only. I should explain for those with very small brains that this was written and posted by a sighted person . I would love to share with you a few words from member "Whizzz" (whom the seller had never met before). I quote "whats with looks like rust stained,thought you were blind,go walk into a wall,better yet find a cliff . Whizzz " If you are as disgusted with an unprovoked attack on a completely blind person please contact this member and voice your dis-pleasure . I am sure this person is a big tough Bully with his deadly mouse in hand . Most bullies such as this are frustrated because no cares for them or their opinions . I am sure this person has no friends ,and gets his pleasure from picking on the helpless . If you do buy ths sign please buy it as a novelty only .All 100% of the sale will go to charity
