I'm sure not a Texaco expert, but I don't ever recall Texaco having a 24 inch round porcelain???

There is a 24" Canadian round porcelain single-sided Texaco sign. Mine is stamped P & M 47 (Porcelain & Metal Signs, 1947). The mounting holes are in different position from mine. Cheers, Don.

The mounting holes are in the wrong place on the ebay offering and if Canadian it should be marked P & M. I have the 18" version, mounting holes as Don's, is marked P & M 56 and as was mentioned above it was used as a truck sign.

Every 24 inch and 18 inch i have seen all had the mounting holes in the same place (like don's pictured) and all are marked P&M with a date. Which leads me to suspect the authenticity of the one sold on ebay...thx mm
