Picked this up a few days ago. Anyone have any info on it, such as era, rarity, what pump it came from? It is 12 3/8" x 7" . Thanks in advance for any help.

I collect Texaco and have not seen that. Script looks 30s...but that is only a guess. Very cool.

After reading Scott's great article on "Ad Panels" in October's PCM... I will hazard a guess of mid to late 1930s...

I am pretty sure that the 1920s, is too early...

Like Alex; the glass is a new one for me... Maybe Doug, knows for sure?

20's is too early as you have to get into electric pumps before ad glass came around. Probably 30's or 40's.

The font is really close to the "NEW" TEXACO MOTOR OIL 1935. Maybe an oil rack we haven't seen ? The same was used up into the 40-50's TEXACO INSULATED MOTOR OIL.
