19" x 12" Tin Sign. Raised Lettering. I've never seen these or noticed them anywhere before. Does anyone have any information they would like to share on these? Thank you for looking.

They are pretty light, and a little flimsy.

Tin Tackers, Sinclair had several of them. Had oil and kerosene, plus I think gasoline versions. I can add more pictures later. Mom and dad had about 20 like yours still in the paper. They bought one off of eBay and found out the guy had a lot more. I put mine in a wood frame to display it because they are sort of flimsy and get bent easily.

very thin metal, i have owned several.
They sell from $200-$375. Yours has some condition issues, I'd say about $250.

Thanks for the information, my dad will be pumped, he made a deal and was able to get a stack of them in varying conditions.

the key to maintaining that value would be to not tell the whole world that you found a 'stack'

Good point....in that case it was a very small stack. We're not very good at the selling side anyways, more of a hoarder than a seller I'd say.
