I have that exact sign on top of the building, I found in Fairplay Colorado in the 90's. First picture I have ever seen of it. Thanks

Coltex: I have a pretty good sized collection of old Conoco gas station photos. From what I can tell, your sign was used by Continental Oil at some dealer stations in the 1920's. Those signs would have been discontinued immediately after the merger between Continental Oil and Marland Oil in mid-1929. In the 1920's, the gas stations that were built and operated by Continental Oil tended to have a "Continental Oil" sign on the building, more in a rectangular shape than the rounded one you have. And I have seen lots of Continental Oil dealer stations that don't have that sign....so I don't know what the company policy was. I am attaching four of the best photos showing that same sign (I believe I can only attach four at a time). Let me know if you want to see more....I probably have a couple more.

Nice. My sign had the owner's name at the bottom as well. I think I took it off, but still have it of course. Great pictures of that sign. Neat to know it was a production sign made for all stations. Thank you.

Coltex: What was the owner's name? And do you know if the station was in Fairplay, or was it somewhere else? The only photo I have of Fairplay is this one, a zoomed in view of a photo from the Denver Library online archive. You can see the Conoco sign, but it isn't the older one that you have. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about that particular station, such as location or owner.
