You don't see these very often and very rare to see one not so faded out that you only know what it is by its shape.

Sorry, but it is not mine. It is in the collection of a quite nice older gentleman I met today who has no intention of letting (anything) go.
This particular company had the reputation for bringing obsolete and changeover advertising back into the home warehouse and not letting it go back out according to two primary sources.
This gentleman also had a Southland globe, which is even more scarce than signs.

Funny you should mention that... I came across this several years ago at a Southland dealer's place (they still mfg industrial and agricultural lubricants and there is at least one refinery in operation but is now Hunt).
Anyhow, I'm calling fantasy on the globe.
