Nobody will own up to this one. From what I understand it was sniped out from the winning bidder for much more money. Read all about it on FB.
Mainly focused on Oilzum, Jenney, Harris Oil items & original paint gas pumps.

closure: Dear advertologist, ... I was threatened immediately with a lawsuit in my initial phone call with the ebay buyer & was inundated with bizarre messages from all over the country - I didn't see this ending well so I canceled the sale & took the sign back to the original owner in Indiana - he'd been clearing out 'junk' with a garage sale - I explained that I thought the sign belonged with him since it was from his grandfather's gas station long ago, but did not tell him of potential value - some day I will... - stekemm
