This month I would like to do West Coast independent companies to include: Beacon, Douglas, Golden Eagle, Hancock, Norwalk, PDQ, Savn Sam, Seaside, Sunland, Sunset, Time, Veltex, and Wilshire (including Polly). These are not all the west coast companies and not limited to the west coast so everyone can participate. As always post as much information as you have and duplicates of signs are fine. Thanks Ted
The first sign is a pump plate from my collection all porcelain Super from Time and the 2nd is a Premium from Time. Co.

Many of the early Seaside signs were hand painted. This one on the Solvang Garage was given to them in exchange for "top billing" on the station. Despite the Seaside sign there were several brands being pumped at the islands in the 20's.



The Mendenhall's have an impressive collection of west coast company signs. Here are some examples.

Should be interesting thread Ted. Here are a couple of photos that I took at Columbus last summer. The Time is a porcelain 6 footer and the Signal was a thick cardboard sign over 6 feet.

Ray Sieder in Carpenteria California has an impressive collection of west coast signs. I haven't seen his collection in person yet but he shared these pictures with me so I hope he doesn't mind if I share them with you.

This is a great SOTM.


Original 48 inch Polly Sign from my collection


Original 48 inch Wilshire Sign from my collection

These aren’t the best signs, but the only ones I’ve seen. I like their rustic look.

Actually it did work Elden, long enough for me to steal your photo and enlarge it for you so that you could see the Polly sign. Same sign that Pollyman posted.

Great old station, thanks Elden!


Here's the original picture too.

I have had some oldgas members tell me these are not all west coast companies but as stated they not all were based or only on west coast. The key thing is independent and it really doesn't matter to me as all the signs are cool. Kind of a free for all but at least we are getting some great participation. So if you are sitting back and don't know what you have just post it. Ted
