Welcome to Oldgas.com Shop Talk. I think it is a great sign too. Don't know the value, but an unusual sign with good graphics is usually a winner even with the obvious chips. Here's a link to the only Blue Bonnet item in our album: http://www.gaspumps.info/gallery/v/quarts/b/blueb.jpg.html

Interesting sign.
I have researched Bluebonnet Oil for a number of years with out finding much.
But note how I spell it as one word. Different than your sign. So I think it may be a different company.
The Bluebonnet Oil Company was located in Mineola, Texas in the early 1920's, and I think may have been bought out by Transcontinental Oil in the late 1920's. I have an advertising piece from Transcontinental Oil with the name spelled as one word. The globe from the Texas company is white with red and blue flowers and green leaves in the center. It to spells it as one word.
The oil can Jim points out has a combination of both so the plot thickens....

Welcome to oldgas!
Killer sign with Killer graphics...
Looks like it was a table at some point with 4 holes where the legs were...I'd venture a guess and say it's VERY valuable!
$2500+ (just my opinion!)

No info, but no doubt it is a very valuable sign even in that condition. Don't sell yourself short to all the sharks that have emailed you for you to sell it to them.

I agree that is a very rare sign. Like said do not sell yourself short on it. I would believe it is a new discovery also.
