I found this great sign today. 6' tall and 18" wide. Made of tin with the original wood case in tact with the exception of top horizontal piece. I need your guys help figuring out what decade this one is from. I was told the '20s. Thoughts?

Early 1930's......later ones can be found as well which date mid 1940s, the font is narrower and not as nice of a sign as yours IMO.
Buying: Polarine / Red Crown Gasoline Globes and Signs, Early Chevrolet & United Motors Signs, and 1910's through 1940's Gas & Oil Signs.

Thanks 1937. Anyone else who wants to chime in with some information about this sign or Century tires in general, feel free. Would like as much knowledge as I can squeeze out of you guys.

Some people buy lottery tickets. Some people bet on race horses. Some people go to the casino. I like to gamble on signs that I have never seen before in person and that I cant find anything about on the internet. Just as long as I am comfortable they are authentic, I buy them. Sometimes It pays off and I end up with a very unique possibly valuable sign. Other times It doesnt. Either way its fun. Plus, even if I lose, I generally end up gaining knowledge about a piece I had no prior experience with.
