Was in the attic and discovered what I had forgotten I had, Would like to get appraised and I have been on the internet with no luck at all until I found this site.A lot of nostalgia. I hope this is ok to post. Looking for ideas where I can go to find out more or possible auctions Thank you John

Here is a picture of mine and I've seen 2 others in my 11 years collecting Sunoco. I've never seen one like yours. Mine is all castings. Honestly, I think someone made yours. I do not think it is original Sunoco issue. As for value, Sorry, I don't see much. Just hard to say. http://www.oldgas.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=595898 And here is one in action. Only picture I have of one. Last edited by Steven C.; Tue Sep 15 2020 05:49 PM. Steve Coppens Always interested in Sunoco items! Really want a Sunoco National pump ad glass!!

OP John Morin Member J Joined: Aug 2020 Posts: 7 Mooresville N.C. USA	Very nice. I do know for a fact that it came off a built in 1950 Sunoco station as I personally watched it being removed. Maybe it was made after the station was built Wished I knew. Thanks

Steven C. Veteran Member Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 4,801 Likes: 31 MICHIGAN	Here's another interesting thought on this. The sign on the left is older then the one on the right. Notice on the older sign, the arrow shape (matches your vane) and is different than the newer sign (arrow point back and matches my vane). Steve Coppens Always interested in Sunoco items!
