I have one of those vertical signs. As far as I know, only 8 or so are one the market.They date from the 20s/30s, and Oil Creek didn't last much beyond those years. The signs were in storage at the Drake Well Museum, a historical park on the site of Americas first oil well in Titusville, PA. The museum consigned these extra signs(they had a couple on display) To Cordier Auctions of Harrisburg PA early in 2014, to be sold in an auction that included items from various Pennsylvania historical sites,museums, etc. The signs were selling anywhere from a couple hundred, to close to $1500, based on condition, as it varied. They were made by a sign company in Kokomo Indiana. Its surprising that I know this much about such a rare sign, but I was actively involved in buying 2, and selling 1 of them. It is still one of my favorite signs in my collection, as I saw those same signs when I was very young and was taken to the Drake Well Museum.
