A sign book I have describes one that is 30"x52" with the same wording and says it's from the 1920's.

My apologies JACK! The email wasn't about any information on the sign. Tom and I have had several dealings and I just saw his name and wanted him to know I'd sent an email. Guess I could've used the PM function instead.----KEVIN

Fyre Drop was a brand sold by WH Barber out of Minneapolis in the teens and 20's. I don't know when they stopped selling it, but they were bought out by Pure Oil in the '50's. WH Barber actually still exists as a industrial oil and chemical company out of Chicago.
Coincidentally, I was in Menomonie last Sunday to buy some WH Barber items from a Wisconsin collector! I'd be interested in the sign if does go up for sale. Let me know if you'd like any more info!
