Hi All!

I have the early Pennzoil sign. It is curved to spin with the wind, I think. It is heavy double sided porcelain and I think it is about "48 by 15".

Does anyone have any information on this sign?

Era?
If it was a spinner?
Value?

I found a picture from around the 1920's that I think has the same Pennzoil spinner sign in it. Any others out there?

Thanks so much!

Very cool, Matthegasman! It is good to know there are a few others out there.

A lot of people like these old signs mint or close but I love them rusty and aged. This is my favorite sign out of my collection.
