Kris,
Before you head north, see if that clockface Sunoco pump you have will fit in your suitcase for me.

My first sign. Flange beaten flat, only one good side. Extra holes and what looks to be touch up or clear. Everything I don't want but I love this one! I have lots of really cool old signs but this one has a special place in my collection as it's what started me off in this hobby/now turned jobby. I now buy and sell a lot more looking for the next gem to keep.

My first sign that started the addiction is the Johnson, the Fisk was my wife's purchase....and she paid waaaay too much for it but "had" to have it.

these are 2 of the roughest signs in my collection... but for some reason, they are still my favorite!

Wow db!

That must be an early "MOHAWK" sign.

Am I correct?

I could not pick just one, but these are four all have great stories behind them and involved meeting some really great people.

The "FRANCISCO AUTO HEATER" would be my Favorite sign as well.

What an idea by the company + the imagination on Artist's part!

Killer sign!

Very nice signs!

If I had to choose a gas oil related sign, mine would be the Goodyear Service Station Sign. A more common sign than most have posted, but my Dad and I found this in the early 90s, not far off of old route 66. It was laying face down amongst a pile of 2x4s. I will never forget my old man's face as he picked it up! Some of the good memories that got me hooked into this hobby when I was a teenager.
