The fluted pole was used by many stations. I know of a old Shell station that still has these poles in front of it. They have red shades on them & look just like yours. I am just guessing that they where used in the 20s or 30s.

Those fluted poles are Great! Bought two from Cheese. Waiting to get two new 'Revere' Tags from Ron Scobie when he gets them made. The fluted are alot nicer than the smooth. Here is a pic of the poles from CHEESE (bigcheesepetro.com) and the correct type harps and bonnetts
