So i found this sign online for sale and from my research, i've only found one other example of this sign with the ethyl badge in the middle. Most of the other ones in this oval shape have the sterling symbol in the center. For some reason, it doesn't look right to me. The rivets seem really large. And its in fantastic shape. What do you guys think?

Hard to tell from your pic.. I have seen a few with the ethyl symbol. These are pump plates. I have been looking for one..I would say its good IMO. Here is a pic of one on a pump.
