What size were the Sunset Gasoline Signs? I've only seen the 30 inch ones online, but was told that some may have been a bit bigger like 42". Any help appreciatated.

I have personally seen the same graphics (as Dick posted) on a somewhat triangular shaped art deco porcelain sign at a friends collection. The height of the triangle being squashed down if that makes any sense. The sign is the real deal...

That is a KILLER sign Randy. I'm almost positive the one I seen had DELUXE on the bottom. I could be mistaken as I only seen it once and it's been awhile, but I still believe it was a different version.

I have also seen a couple like Randy's, but thought the original question was were the round signs made in 42". IMHO... no. What's questionable is the size of the Sunset in the photo.

Thanks for the help. The guy is about 2 hours away from me so I haven't seen the sign yet. He says that it is a round 46-48" sign with the car/airplane Sunset graphics on it. Just hate to waste my time and gas to go look at it if it may be a homemade or reproduction sign that was never made. He insists that it is porcelain.
