My opinion is if you have early associated, Richfield items, signal, Polly and they are original no need to waste your time posting the pics on here for the window shoppers. Contact Dan Matthews at Morphys if you are serious about selling and he can direct you if he thinks what you have is rare, and will bring money . Go back and look at the prices from past auctions he commanded big money when on his own and now teamed with Morphy he gets heavy heavy hitters. Consignment fees are up there but if it's rare they will advertise the heck out of it for you and you will have an audience that will spend money.

Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

Looks like the Richfield sign is the same one that member "MDQG" posted that he bought a month before this topic and is now offering for sale at this link:

The story posted by "89sheepdog" doesn't appear to be holding water.

89sheepdog did leave us some clues before he changed his profile:

1. a last name of: MacMillan

2. a cell phone #: (909) xxx-xxxx which on a reverse phone lookup goes too Upland, Ca. which is 49 mi. N of here

I'd like too ask him how he blew that picture up with such clarity?.. cool
