Is this petroliana? You decide. I collect vintage toy garages (I'm out of room for gas pumps!). I recently bought this steel toy garage on eBay. It was made in 1953 by a tinsmith in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Fortunately, the article describing this tinsmith, Ben Zirzow, which was published in 1961 in the Milwaukee Journal was attached beneath the floor of the garage. You can read the article on Google if you Google “Zirzow, tinsmith, toymaker.” He said he used fourteen 5-quart oil cans to construct each toy garage that is about 12 by 18 inches. (Imagine how common and abundant the oil cans once were).

Early Pennzoil porcelain sign. Note the text with the round P and O. No highlighting of letters that go through the full bell, and the straight text above and below Pennzoil. Even the % symbol is different. Approx 31" X 19" mounted in original riveted frame. I believe the vertical side bar and long extension bar are not original as the oval frame is a "lollipop" type without its pole and base.
