I found some signs at an old bulk plant. The plant was going to be demolished the next day. I can't find these signs
in any of the collector books that I researched. Solit Gasoline, Red Crown, Perfection Kerosene, Polarine Oils, and more. Any info would be appreciated. E-mail me at I looked under standard oil but couldn't find any picture's like my signs. Where else should I look?

The four larger signs are double sided and flanged. The smaller ones are very thin, iam not a collector and this sight has been the most help.I ordered a book on signs to find value and get information.I think i can e-mail pictures if anyone wants. Thanks so much.

Couple more months now Hubba and we will violate bulk plants all over the PNW!
I remember the good old days when gold was worth more than rust!
