I Am considering the purchase of this Esso Credit Card Sign. The sign is porcelain and mounted in a metal frame. Here are my questions:

Was this frame the common mount for this sign? Would it be considered rare to be found in the frame and does it significantly enhance the sign’s value. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
