Hey Randy…I don’t know if it helps but I picked up some restroom door signs that look just like yours. I have tried to find out their history but have not had any luck.

Randy, pretty sure that sign was used by Sterling.
The rest room signs are not brand specific. They are generic type that were sold at hardware stores.

No, I think their stations were in WV and PA.

Per the Guide to Gasoline Logos (Henderson / Benjamin) in addition to WV and PA Sterling was also in OH and NY.
