Hello All, Here's the latest addition to my sign collection. This is my first larger sign. While someday I hope to own a nice 48" Mobil sheild, I've always liked the older Texaco signs and was able to procure this sign locally. It is dated C 35 on the bottom. The sign holder is a little out of shape but I hope to straighten it out at some point and paint it black and remount it. Have a good one, Darin  Uploaded with ImageShack.us

 Got this flange sign this week......it's one I've been wanting for some time now. The Mobiloil S version is a lot more difficult to find in good condition than the Mobiloil version....and I'm thinking it's probably a few years older. Richard

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments. I only touched up a few very small pecs on this side, none are larger than a pencil eraser top. You can kinda see the pecs in the green since I don't have any green paint, lol. Side 2 has 4 larger pecs, but still it's one of the nicest I've seen as well. I'm proud to be it's new owner.  Darin

Thanks Colin. The pottery collection started over 10 years ago when my Grandma passed away and left me a few "seed" pieces, to which I have added quite a bit to over the years. It used to be my pottery room I called it, but it's slowly being taken over by globes and signs, lol! I think it may be moving to another location at some point this year as it looks a little out of place with the petro now.

I added to my Cities Service collection last week with this nice tin--2 sided sign that I bought from Ron Hoyt! It has a different picture on each side, so when I need a change, I simply flip it over and display the other side! Thanks Ron!

I probably should have mentioned that Tom Van Holten found the Koolmotor sign for me at Columbia and called me with the contact info! I've bought several signs from Tom and some of the best signs that I have came from him! Tom knows quality when he see's it and he knew right away that I'd really like the "KOOLMOTOR" sign! Thanks again TOM!

Picked up a few higher end qts...The airline is pretty rough but still displays. A couple has some flaws but they looked good enough to display until I can upgrade. The Indian Penn is flawless and is now right up there with my Penn-Guinn can.

I fill my Oil Bottles with that black sand they use for sandblasting. It looks like 'used' oil - and it weighs a ton!
At least my bottles won't fall over! LOL
