I bought another Sinclair sign to add to my collection this weekend. I never saw another one like it in person or in pictures. I looked through all of my gas books and looked on the internet also. I posted several pictures. Does anyone else have one? I assume it was from the 60's. The angle on the top of this sign lines up with the angle on the botom of my Sincair trapazoid sign. My trapazoid sign is a 5 footer. It appears that the sign I just bought was probably intended to be hung under a 7 foot sign. It is two sided, the one side has the Sinclair "Drive With Care" saying on it and the back side says "Next exit". I again assume the sign may have been used on an interstate, going one way you would see a sign for Sinclair, next exit. Going the opisite way you would see Sinclair, Drive with care. I also got the original wood box it came in, it is marked Sinclair, Rolla Missouri. Does anyone have any info on this sign or have a picture of one hanging up along the road or on an old map?
Thanks

That is not me on the WW1 site. I am interested in military history, mostly WW2 stuff.
I am still looking for info on this sign. I looked through all of my back issues of PCM and CTO and all my gas books again. Still no luck yet.
