I've always wanted to find an old picture of this can rack. Could that be this same type rack on the porch left of the door? I think maybe! And this picture is from Milford Mi. which is only about 30 miles away from where I bought this rack.
Sure wish I could get a better copy of that photo!!

I think you are right Steve. But that rack doesnt fit your collection of Sunoco stuff. Think you should send it south to Ohio.

I have the porcelain Gargoyle sign from the top of the rack with the metal band. I have never seen it complete. Thank you for posting the photo.

Somehow I knew Dan would be chiming in with something to this effect just like Steve would be if Dan had a Sunoco rack! laugh

This is the one that I had mentioned that I have. Sorry about the glare in the photo. Both sides are about the same condition. Armature touch up done by prior owner.

Interesting that your sign has radius lower corners. Could have been a different use. Hard to say.

Don't think Maxgas's sign is correct for stand above, looks to be a Curb sign.

Do you think that the 2 different Mobiloil signs would have been used in the same time frame? Thanks for the information.
