I picked up this Red Crown Gasoline sign today. 30 inch DSP. The one side I have not cleaned yet. The second side was all covered in spots, paint or cement or?? Took all afternoon, a couple SOS pads and a few beers to get the spots off. One of the bigger spots took over 600 "Back and forths" with an SOS pad to get it off. (Yes, I counted) As far as I can tell, the signs is from Standard of Ohio, which later became Sohio. When Standard was broke up, they became Standard of Ohio, New Jersey, Indiana, Nebraska, California, Kentucky and Louisiana, plus possibly some I missed. I think the sign dates from 1928-1930 but I may be wrong as this sign doesn't have a Dinosaur on it... It still has some rust staining to it. At first I thought of hitting it with some Muriatic acid to clean it but the more I scrubbed on it, the better it looks. Great color/ gloss and very heavy shelving. I do not want to jack it up so I will probably keep trying the elbow grease to get the rust off off

Love the Murphy sign. I would like to see it once it's cleaned up a bit, if it does

Lucky to get these. Old wooden box-hand written Winnipeg spelt wrong on one side, correct on the other!
