So if 1930 is when the date changed would some of the 1930 signs say "REG US PAT OFF" ,and some say "REG TM" since it was the changeover year ? .I know the little sign is a repo because there are no real 9" Texaco signs (assuming the lady measured it right). But I don't want to pass on a real 1930 sign thats real if I ever see one .Also someone posted not long ago that Texaco did not date signs of this period,but here is a real dated sign.

If it says "REG US PAT OFF" it won't be dated. The only ones dated are the "REG TM".

Never seen a Texaco sign dated before 1930, you won't find a U.S. REG. PAT. OFF. dated 1930 that's a safe bet. At least not a utility plate. Now you may find a flange sign or other with the larger TM ?

Thanks for all your help guys!!!!
I'm glad you chimed in Doug, I was really hoping for your insight on this. I pray things are going okay!!!
I've emailed a link to this thread to my Brother in Law.
He called yesterday and although a little bummed, and still slightly sceptical for a moment, he is chalking it up to a lesson learned.
Steve, if your reading this, time to join in on the fun at 'ole Oldgas. There is no where better where you can tap into this hobby. And it's free smile

OOps my bad, I learn many new things on here all the time. Thanx, BlackTee for pointing that out with out being nasty and making fun of my ignorance.
This is one of the reasons I tend to stick with the bigger signs and stay away from these PPPs. ,,,,but it reminds also that I need to educate my self more about these.

Randy,
Any chance you could post a pic of the back of your sign just so we have the hole story on at least one true authentic sign.
Thanks!!
