Yep that was the first thing I asked and thought of. The homeowner said he hasnt seen anymore but I left my number you never know. There was a second one exactly like this one but the contractors working on the house destroyed it removing it with crowbars and hammers because it was in the way of what they were doing....long before I ever found the gentlemen.
Mainly focused on Oilzum, Jenney, Harris Oil items & original paint gas pumps.

Great story and recovery. As many others have said, "How many more signs were used?"
Always looking for Standard Oil of Indiana, or any globes!
