Thanks for posting the auction number.

Please copy the number and paste it into the eBay search box at the bottom of this page. Click "Go" and you're at the auction.
Your extra effort to search for eBay items this way is what pays the bills to keep this site running. Thanks!

Guess the seller shouldn't have taken the advice to clean up this rare sign...
Q: After copying the photo on oldgas, I noticed you've put it on Ebay - but oiled or coated the sign to make it look glossy with strong color, trying to make bidders believe it's a better sign than it really is. If you don't add the original photo to Ebay, or qualify in your description the sign is oiled and glossy darker colors than it is, I'm sending the original photo to Ebay with a complaint. If deception isn't you intent, you will fix this error in your listing. Thanks. Nov-15-10
A: When I purchased this sign it was very dirty. It took a lot of cleaning with soap & water, comet, and mineral oil. The colors you see in the picture are the true colors of the sign. The cleaning and oil did not enhance the colors. I take offense as to what you are implying.

Well, he sez he did use mineral oil on it. Any time you put oil on a sign like that it is going to bring out the colors more but only for a day or so. So he is misrepresenting this sign.

It looks like the seller of the Blue Bonnet sign is more of a gas/oil expert than we all knew. He states "Only one known of" in his eBay description!! In the future, I feel all Old Gas inquiries about item rarity should be directed to this guy.

Didn't he come here to ask the experts and just repeated the information he got? Welcome to Oldgas. Cool sign but I've never seen one.
Welcome aboard....unique sign..cool
Could be a new discovery, never seen before. I have researched Bluebonnet Oil for a number of years with out finding much.
No info, but no doubt it is a very valuable sign even in that condition. I agree that is a very rare sign. WOW! LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE SAID "RARE" AND QUITE THE FIND!
