It's porcelain and in good condition, all he has in his garage was original so I'm curious about this sign He wanted 200 � for it (300 $)so what you think ? text "schmiert besser" is german and the traduction is "lubricates better" Last edited by Nucky; Fri Dec 02 2011 07:02 AM.

They were pretty much always different from the U.S.A. market. Would be a tough call for anyone in the states including myself to make a real/repro determination on this one.... ....unless a Hardcore Texaco collector can chime in and say for sure. VERY COOL SIGN THOUGH! DOC @ THE AMERICAN GARAGE
