The seller seems to think it was made in the 70s and fiberglass. (The round part is 4') http://pbckt.com/p7.RLKtFc Thanks in advance! Vegaslube Last edited by Vegaslube; Mon Jan 14 2013 09:38 PM.

We (my Dad and I) tried to get it after the merger, but the majority owner in the station took it and hung it on his barn for 40 years until his death in 2010.... Not sure what happened to it after that... PS: it was definitely original, as Tidewater Oil contacted the sign Company to hang the sign.... Last edited by Bob Richards; Tue Jan 15 2013 07:22 PM.
