I would appreciate your help for an estimates of the value of one of these original Texaco Marine Lubricants signs 1957-1962. The signs were found in the home of the Texaco´s first distributor in Venezuela (Corporación Lubricantes y Similares C.A, Caracas, Venezuela)

Take some close up photos of the first sign (marine) lower right hand corner and of the Texaco logos please.

would they have used english signage in Venezuela?
maybe that explains the '57 date -
Wuilliams, welcome too oldgas.. ...

The Texaco Lubricants is questionable. The 'T' on the left looks off center compared to the one at the right. And this is one sign that has been copied many times in the past 20 years.

Also, I'm wondering where the trademark is on the flange, I'd expect it to show up in the center under the star wouldn't you say?

The detail of the flags and other things are just not there...IMO

I will upload more photos so that you have the opportunity to get more details. The documents and evidence were found with signs let me assume that they are authentic. There are 25 pieces of which 7 are marine lubricants. It is worth mentioning that Mr. Manuel Puentes (lubricants and Allied Corporation, Texaco Distributors CA Manager) died on 15 October 1992. Until today his assets were never reviewed.

Hi, I Have 7 signs best
