It's good, hard sign to find for as new as it is. I was told that these sign were only used in the north-east US. Dan

Interesting about the NE US theory.
I bought a matching round logo one, just like Mark's, from a Texaco collection from New Jersey a few years ago.

I don't remember seeing one dated that early, most I have seen dated in the 1960's. Dan

Just noticed that grommet holes at top and bottom are in different position on the two signs.

The Guide to Gas Pump Restoration book shows a of 1963- 1967
on the round Texaco logo and shows the grommets in a different position also.
These books have also know to wrong also.

First time, I`ve seen a Texaco pump plate with the mounting holes positioned like that first sign.
