Check this sign out on EBay, probably the coolest signs you will see for a while….. Hope the seller lets the auction run! 140513404017

I remember seeing something similar in Kyle Moore's collection years ago, but for TEXACO. DBL sided had different colored glass like beads in the holes w/ a light spinner inside. Was a bit noisy, sure was NEAT when turned on w/ light spinning.

Frank, you are right, I do have one in Texaco. Well, one side anyway. I found it at Pomona lots of years ago. Had been in a fire, and many of the red glass "marbles"? are missing. I've been trying for years to find someone who could reproduce those little guys. I do remember seeing one like mine all lit up. I'll have to dig for a photo of it. This one one ebay looks very cool.

AAaaahhhhh--Lets leave age out of this Frank! I'm slightly older than DB and I would have remembered that sign! Was DB wearing flip flops or maybe it was that California sun that he brags about! That could have had something to do with it! LOL

That sign was offered on ebay about a year or so ago, I don't recall that it generated much bidding then.
