Ended up with 2 of the BP signs, the Cooper Tire sign, and over 200 Amoco composite cans (full). Not sure what I will do with all of them. I only ended up taking half as I got tired of toteing them to the truck. Looking for any Alabama based globes and advertising such as Coastal, Rebel, Interstate Oil, Foster Oil (supertane), Mutual, Oil Well, etc...

The sign is probably from 1936 to 1940. I saw pictures of this sign before, never saw an actual one in person before the show. Most signs with this logo are round. There should also be a green Opaline mate to this. Composit DTR cans, 1969, there is also a red and green version from around 1971 US Air Force Retired, 1981-2007

Fun trip but a long one! LOL I managed 2485 miles by the time I got back (5 days)! The white letters are a NOS TEXACO set thats complete. The Koolmotor sign is an upgrade and I picked up the Laureleaf globe from a delivery stop with Oldnfuelish! The thermometer was too nice not to buy and I HAD to have the radiator cover!
