FWIW, font is slightly different than that shown in my Sinclair book.

Sinclair used both red and green versions of this sign.
I am not positive but I think it is a generic sign, one that was used by a couple different companies?

I just took a closer look at the two shown in the Henderson/Benjamin Sincliar book. Which, if you have any interest in Sinclair, you should buy.
I guess I stand corrected. Sort of. The book shows both red and green signs. But the two signs have different style font. The one shown in red actually does match this sign. The one shown in green, which i first looked at, does not.

Tricky stuff this oil & gas collecting!!!!

Sinclair, just a variation of the ones I used in the book. The SWPS is South West Porcelain Sign company, I believe.
