Those painted over signs now are to me what a surprise in the Cracker Jack box was to me as a kid , that one has a bonus looks like . Any guess from anyone what brand it could be?
I like SINCLAIR and old American made stuff ... No china items.

The large sign is most likely a Texaco as that is a Texaco banjo pole. But, if the station had been rebranded then it's just a guessing game. The 30" round would be neat to know what it is.

It sure would be. Dave do know if they make texaco signs double sided or did they use two seperate signs in these that were single sided ?

The 30 incher could be this one. It is exactly what I pictured when I saw the sign.

I saw this Pure station converted to a bank today in Geneva IL with the service bays converted to drive thru units. If you look close they have an original Pure sign in the lobby.

THAT IS SOOO COOL!!! That makes me so happy that they took the time to repurpose it in such a way that it preserves history and is able to be used in todays age in a very functional way.
Looks like they used a pure sign with a repainted middle part on the outside of the bank,,, and maybe cut a original pole down?

This station was a nursery for a few years. Glad the bank didn't tear it down!

Mark, on the Pure station/ bank....I'm not sure you caught it, but look in the big front window of the bank and on the back wall is the sign he was refering to. My bad if you already noticed.

That Sawsheen Garage building is an awesome building!!! Talk about architecturally rich, complex and significant in design.

I was told it was built in 1926. It has a ramp up the right side of the building.

That neon Haffner's sign is fantastic, and also the checkered board roof on that old remolded station . Someone was trying to go for that vintage old school look,

That is how most of the Haffner's stations are. Some have been upgraded for the worst but they kept the old neon sign and color seam.

I've driven past this place a million times but it's only been since discovering this hobby that I even notice it and now realize that this is probably an old station. Finally took the time and stopped to take a pic the other day.
The architecture seems awful generic, but does it lend itself to any particular brand.
Just thought I would share.
The old market sign hangs on the old house/store front across the street.
I hope to find the time to check with the local historians to see if I can find any old pics of the area.

Sorry to say this cool old station in loveland, Colorado was turned into a Pot store instead of being restored. Thanks, Rod van Pelt

At least it's kinda attractive--I know, I know it's not original nor restored, but repurposed is better than torn down.
If I can find the photos I took of an original a couple of years ago before it was demolished and something new in it's place, I'll post it for June. I'll get pic's of what's there now.
