This was absolutely the best condition Standard pole sign that I have ever found!(SEE PICTURES) It stood in front of the Jacobsen Oil Company Standard station in Hope, North Dakota, for a lot of years before I ever purchased it! It took just about 3 years to buy the sign! I had left my name and phone number at the station and I would call there about twice a year, inquiring about the availability of the sign! It was supposed to go to a family friend of theirs but a divorce changed his plans and the sale of the station brought about a phone call asking if I still wanted the sign! I was there early the next morning and home by early afternoon with it! After posting it on BOTW, I had a lot of interest in it and one day I received a phone call from my friend Kris in Florida, and one thing led to another and we were able to line up the transportation and a couple weeks later the sign was headed for Florida! I'm certainly glad Kris got this sign and gave it the position in his collection that it deserves! Its a great sign and with Kris's care, will easily be preserved into the next century! WAY TO GO KRIS!!!

Thanks again for the nice comments guys. I really enjoy going out and turning that thing on. I wish I lived in a normal place so I could have put outside.

I like it a lot too. Looks great in there. It even looks kinda cool being stubby.

Check ebay constantly and keep looking on Old Gas. I often see them in some of the trader sites on facebook too! The flame globes have about doubled in the last 2 years and you can expect to pay $1000 to $1200 for top of the line!

Dang, that is the sign that was from my mothers hometown. We were wondering where it went when it disappeared.
