I would personally date the sign from 1932 to 1935. Some of the Mobilgas shields used the "Product of A" slogan for those few early years after the Socony and Vacuum merger so I feel pretty confident these were produced at the same time. I have not seen the slogan used on a shield sign dated 1936 or later.

What Darin said. The book Oil Company Signs by Benjamin and Henderson list what I believe is this sign on page 118. The book dates it from 1932-1935.

Does the book show it as a lollipop or say anything to the fact?

It is listed in the curb sign section. Not all listed signs have pictures of the actual sign. There are pictures in the book but most signs are just described with wording

I guess my approximation was pretty good, I don't even own that book, lol. I just went from the knowledge I have gained over the years of looking at the dates on all the shields that come up for sale on line, so this is what a lot of members mean when they say years of experience has brought them the knowledge. wink

This sign is on ebay auction now with a low reserve. The sign and ring are original, the base is not. Great chance to own a early pegasus piece! Auction ends Saturday 3/2.

The previous ebay listing now reads:

This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available.

Looks like the seller ended it early to relist it.
