First time trying a picture. Hope it works. I picked up this sign last month and have not found much about it. I saw another today in a big collection down the street from me. I bought the sign in Massachusetts . On the bottom it says Copyright 1926 By Fred D.Griggs. I did find that Griggs was a politician in Ma. Anyone know anything about this sign ? Thanks

I think that it is automotive, like the AAA signs.

sold one last year and somewhere I have a map with the logo. It's definitely gas stations, can't remember the brand but pretty sure it's New England area.

...not an oil company, but a directory of travel-related stuff like gas stations...I'm pretty sure if you paid for advertising in their guides, you got one of these signs to hang in front of your station...
Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

I have a few other signs that I would put in the same category. An ALA sign and an AAA sign. I was able to research these signs and come up with info.
