Conoco Minuteman hole question #823363 Thu Jul 16 2026 03:12 PM

I've never thought about it honestly. Why is this? How was this sign originally displayed? I've gone back and every Minuteman I can find has this single hole at the top, no other mounting holes. Thanks

Wanted early tin litho signage. petro, farm, auto, etc.
