Neat looking sign. I'm not a Barnsdall collector so I've never seen one before, but would the sign have had a top piece above the B, or was it cut there? Being that it mentions world I surmise there was a globe that stuck up above the B logo. Still cool regardless, just curious. Thanks, Darin

Yes, there would have been a top piece to complete the globe, it would have said "be square to your motor", it would be great if someone had the top to complete this sign.

I had the top piece like 15yrs ago and sold it cause I didn't have the bottom. lol I'll look to see if I still have a photo of it. The bottom part looks ok by itself, but the top part really looked like something was missing by itself.

I had a top and finally found a bottom about a year ago. Then it would not fit where I wanted it to hang so I let it go. BTW, there are 2 side pieces as well.

The "side" pieces as noted earlier in the thread are not the original configuration. They are 48" DSP identification signs that a local collector attached to the "world's 1st Refiner" sign.
The sign offered for sale in this post is part of a 10ft 2 piece sign was used as a rooftop sign on Barnsdall stations.
Collect small Oklahoma Oil Co.'s 1920's-1940's. Barnsdall, Cushing, Eason, Marland, etc.
