I've only seen metal signs from Red Crown, also there are no stamps or markings on this wood sign. It looks old but i can't tell for sure if its homemade or not. Just wanting to know if this was made a long time ago and is really an antique/vintage and how much the value might be on it. Thanks everyone!!!

If the wood finish is the same throughout, the letters and crown were added after the aging process. Everything Cities Service Specializing in old Gas Pumps kwfrith@gondtc.com Cell#-701-739-6133
