I found this interesting listing in my daily Mobil searches. Usually our "suppliers" down in South America are not this detailed with the information on how they came upon the items. Honestly I don't think I've ever come across this particular fantasy sign before. I do believe though that the artwork came from a button promoting Mobiloil Arctic worn by station attendants in the 1930's. Darin http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mobiloil-ARTIC-S...=item1c4c11fdf1

I could use that motor oil on my way thru a house fire if it will protect up to 400 degrees.

I sent the seller a message and asked him if he really thought I would believe that he would ship such a small amount of scrap in the 80's when it was at its lowest in 50 years. His reply was that he knew the value of those signs before anyone else and only now could he break even on his investment. His next question was would I like to buy more than one as there were several in that batch and the others didnt have any damage. What a crock of s..t!
