I picked up this Standard Service sign from the original owner (pictured with sign). He said the sign was put on the property in 1934 and has been there ever since. You can see the original pole in the background. I still need to clean the 77 years of dirt off but it's in excellent condition.

That is really neat Coops. Can't get much better than that having a sign with a history. It looks like it's in super condition. Just curious if the man has been approached multiple times over the years to sell and you were finally the lucky "chosen" one he sold to or how it was bought?!
Thanks,

Picked up a Miller Tire Stand and a small (5" x 3") Atlantic sign that I'm not sure if it's a counter sign or an old "billboard" from a model railroad set.
