Well Brent (chevelle SS) and I were walking around and came across this sign at the Pate Swap meet last Thursday in Fort Worth, Texas. The guy that had it was (as you can see) selling old MOPAR parts.....I could tell it was double porcelain. I asked him if he wanted to sell the sign and he said sure....20 bucks. I said for 20 dollars I would take the gamble. Well after some aircraft stripper and removing the paint and red oxide primer her she is.....I was told it was a Gas company credit card????? anyone know? BEFORE  AFTER  other side is just as nice. size is 30" X 18" If this is a Oil company, anyone have any info on it?

Just did a search on MALCO. was a Gas and Oil company that was headquartered in Roswell, New Mexico. Malco had the largest refinery in that state. Around 1959 Conoco bought them out and later named it MALCO Products, Inc.
