For this month I would like everyone to post pictures from the Richfield east and west coast , Rio Grande, and any ARCO signs that might be out there. As always try to list size, porcelain, painted, steel, tin, cardboard, plastic or paper. Try to add the approximate year if known. Thanks Ted The sign below is about 12 feet long double sided porcelain and is from the 1930's. It has the original frame and used to go on top of the stations.

This is a tin sign about 23 inches tall, die cut from my collection. Nobody really knew too much about this sign but the graphics are from the first can which makes it early 30's. Ted

Here's a couple of cardboard winterfronts, one from the 20's and the other from the 40's I think. And a plastic eagle, I'm not sure on the usage for these. Ted, you got one of those porcelain neon eagles on top of your garage we can see?
