: Hi Joy;What you have there is a licence plate attachment.It mounts via the slotted holes to the top of your plate, although many found their way on to bikes etc.
: As far as I know Sunoco was the only gas company to allow you to customize your attachment with your own initials (monogram) or 3 letter message ( an early vanity plate?).There seems to be a great interest in attachments now as collectors enjoy the space saving qualities of these mini signs.I will not guess on their value or show my ignorance by trying to put a date on it.

: : I have an interesting, tin sign, which resembles the
: : Sunoco Sign.
: : There is a yellow diamond, with a red arrow which shows
: : the pointed and feathered at the end of the yellow 
: : diamond. The edges of the sign, there ia a 1/4 inch
: : which is blue.
: : In the center of the yellow diamond are three 
: : interchangeable, rectangular tin inserts, which are
: : Letters.  The letters are C L D.  The letters are held
: : tight to the center of the yellow diamond with bendable
: : tabs.
: : On the arrow side at the bottom of the diamond is a 
: : inch extention with two oblong holes.  (Looks like the
: : extention was ment to have bolts and nuts to secure it to
: : something.  On the extentions is the lettering which
: : says  "Patent appld for"

: : Can you help me identify this??
: : Thank you so very much.

: : JOY
