What is the deal on this one???
The letters on the hat aren't real letters and spell nothing.

Here is another
How common is this sign?
And what do you think the value is?

Thanks

Here is a close up of the hat.

The writing on the hat looks Arabic to me. But I dont know what operations Standard (Ind) had in the Middle East.

But it came from a bulk plant in Alabama.
Could it be generic....for all Standard brands....Pan-Am, Standard, Amoco, American?

Man, you have a BIG head!

Love that picture and that's a pretty cool sign too! Thanks for giving us a heads up on it.

Do you mean something like PanStanAmoRican??????? It's probably one of the four, but I cant read in Arabic, so I dont know which one.....

Try to keep in mind that there are a FEW other languages than English.

They ain't but one language in Alabama.
I figgered ya'll knowed that.

One language, but they sound differant there than in George'a !

I don't think that lettering is Arabic. It looks more like Hindi or something similar. My guess is that the hat was probably made for personnel in India, Indonesia or Malaysia. IMO

I was wondering how many aspirin it would take for you to rid a headache ???

i'll make a copy of that sign and show it to the hindu that i buy gas from... he just might know....

What about the LDO sign????
Anyone know a value.
I had some of the cans at one time and they were composite.
Thanks

You have a very rear item in the sign. The lettering is what printers use called
"greeking" it normally is used to paste somthing in that will change later(on the final product) or when the words are not important. In this case it was someting used to save money so SOIND didn't have to print on for each marketing company. From the looks of the torch and oval design it looks post Pan-Am. From the size and shape of the sign it may have been used as a window display for Standard, Amoco, and American stations.

It has another sign below it
and says "get now" it hangs from a chain and there might be one that hangs from that one.

We have decided to call him Stan Pamoco.

Pan-Am used the oval and torch too. Is there a differece in the Standard,American,Pan-Am
Torches?
