Here is a great old colorful cloth banner I found at a meet in Mass. years ago. I couldn't pass on it. Not really sure how it was used, just guessing the dealer would hang several of them across the drive? ------------------ Don "oltoydoc" Sherwood Vintage Gas

These Texaco keyhole signs were used on trucks. This one is from Pikeville, KY. Sorry about the blury picture. This version of the Texaco 42” is harder to find. Notice that the top reads TEXACO not gasoline. TEXACO outboard sign on oil rack. A lot of the guys are working hard to bring us the stuff that we are crazy about. Let them know what you have. If you can’t post it, they will. I am wanting to see more. REX ------------------ [This message has been edited by rext@worldnet.att.net (edited 09-17-2003).]

Figured I would post my two favorite signs. These are 30 inch tins, not porcelain. They are double sided very unique and old. I found both of these from a gentlemen in a very small local town that recently purchased an old garage, during his renovation of the building he found these two signs hung on a nail inside the walls. Talking with a few people around this area they remember the garage as being Texaco in the 20's and into the late 30's which really dates the signs! I currently have them both in a curb stand but feel they deserve a bit more if anyone knows where an early Texaco curb stand is for sale?? To add to this story a bit, also during renovation above each headered window was discovered to be stacked full of Quart cans, Havoline, Kendall, AreoMobil's, etc... And the second sign [This message has been edited by blakestar101 (edited 09-18-2003).]

Wow Blakestar, those 30"ers are something else. They aren't in Pease's Texaco book. What a neat pair. Sell me one would you? j/k Rex, is your 42" single or double sided? Here is an old 30" curb sign. It looks NOS but maybe it was used--hard to tell. If anyone has the original stand and base for one of these, please let me know. [This message has been edited by DCpate (edited 09-18-2003).]
