Two ears that come off each side of bottom. Nothing on back, hollow. Has old yellow paint on it. Any ideas?

Johnny, I'm willing to say that there were at one time on a West Coast or Roxana Shell service station . There , prefab metal buildings were thrown up in a few days with screw drivers and some simple wrenches .



Now I already know this isn't' a Shell station . it is a scale model of such a metal pre fab building with a hip roof . Point is , Shell oil used such "adornments " on the sides of these buildings . This could well have been one at one time . Ed Shaver


see ya on the road folks !

Anybody have a picture of this particular piece? Own one? I am not sold that it was actually used on a shell, Roxana building. I am on the fence.
