Hello,
>New to this forum, but not collecting, but this sign has me stumped. This
>sign came from a bulk plant in California, but getting any info on it has
>been tough. Some have suggested it is foreign, but I believe it to be from
>USA. The only reference I have seen on this sign was the cover of a Shell of California
>road rules/products brochure dated 1926 that shows this sign on a station, beneath
>the window and beside the entry door. The sign measures 24 x 21 inches
>(roughly). It is heavily embossed. Any info would be appreciated!! http://home.earthlink.net/~jimpotts/oldgas/magneato1.jpg

I've not seen this one either. I have seen the white ones that are similar in size and shape. My understanding of those, is that they were on the corners of the overhead canopy. If I were voting, I'd think European.

Believe those were above the door to the gas station, and I think I've seen some pics with 3 across the bld, also one on each corner. If U can find some pics of 30's stations U may see them......Paul
