Thanks I normaly don't say what I pay for something. I payed $100.00 for the bike I thought I was doing good. I was told the guy was a bike collector and picked up lots of stuff through the years, I asked him if he had and old signs he said I have 2, one is a carter about 6 ft and i have one that is tin and is a off brand gas company but it was at home, I told him I would like to see the tin sign. I went back the nextday, when i pulled in the driveway there was the sign leaning against the car my warrden said that is porcelin I said ya, and I said I will trade for the bike right then she just looked at me like that was the right trade. I walked in the shop and the guy said sorry the sign is not tin it is porcelin hope that is ok i said that is fine. so he came out and looked at the bike first thing he said was that bike is rough, I thought great no trade and this guy does not sell anything he only accepts trades. he looked at it for about 5 minutes and said I guess I will trade you because I got the sign free years ago and you probably got the bike for free I said no you did better then me I paid $100.00 for the bike he said I got the better deal. SHOULD HAVE I TRADED FOR THE (CARTER SIGN????)

The California Oil Company (Calso) was a subsidiary of the Standard Oil of California until 1958 when all of the stations were renamed Standard Chevron.
