Yeah I needed this like I needed another hole in my head but thank you Kevin. Just no more room. OH well:) After sandblasting, painting, wiring, buying a flame probably too deep into this sign but it looks nice standing there. Well at least it makes a hell of a night light for the crickets.

I hope my 4 year old will play basketball 1 day that would help with college financing:) I had to cut the signs pole down because I only have 16 foot 4 inches to my rafters. I'm glad you guys like the sign I'm happy with it also. I almost put it outside but assumed that I would be thrown out of my community quickly.

When you mentioned basketball I pictured a hoop mounted where the light is now. You'd be the coolest dad on the block! I wonder how long the torch would last

This was absolutely the best condition Standard pole sign that I have ever found!(SEE PICTURES) It stood in front of the Jacobsen Oil Company Standard station in Hope, North Dakota, for a lot of years before I ever purchased it! It took just about 3 years to buy the sign! I had left my name and phone number at the station and I would call there about twice a year, inquiring about the availability of the sign! It was supposed to go to a family friend of theirs but a divorce changed his plans and the sale of the station brought about a phone call asking if I still wanted the sign! I was there early the next morning and home by early afternoon with it!
After posting it on BOTW, I had a lot of interest in it and one day I received a phone call from my friend Kris in Florida, and one thing led to another and we were able to line up the transportation and a couple weeks later the sign was headed for Florida!
I'm certainly glad Kris got this sign and gave it the position in his collection that it deserves! Its a great sign and with Kris's care, will easily be preserved into the next century! WAY TO GO KRIS!!!

Thanks again for the nice comments guys. I really enjoy going out and turning that thing on. I wish I lived in a normal place so I could have put outside.

I like it a lot too. Looks great in there. It even looks kinda cool being stubby.

Check ebay constantly and keep looking on Old Gas. I often see them in some of the trader sites on facebook too! The flame globes have about doubled in the last 2 years and you can expect to pay $1000 to $1200 for top of the line!

Dang, that is the sign that was from my mothers hometown. We were wondering where it went when it disappeared.
