I have one of those common Pennzoil signs that is an oval 31 inches wide x 22 inches high. Has that strip on the top about 3 1/2 inches wide that says "Sound Your Z" I would like to find the correct bracket for hanging it. Holes with grommets are aprox. 18.25 inches apart. I am not sure how this was supposed to hang, so a picture would also be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
Robert

Steve,
Thank you very much. Is that the only way they mounted or was there an option for an iron wall bracket that mounts to the wall makeing it kind of like a flange?

Forgive my ignorance, but would that configuration in the top picture be called a lollipop or a curb sign then? My sign has the 2 holes like that one for mounting.

I'm no expert, but, as far as I know, lolli pop and curb = same thing.

I do not know if there was a wall mount option. I imagine, someone, somewhere, mounted one that way.

I've seen another version of the second picture where the periphery frame is actaully a tube with a slot in it instead of the flat stock like this one.
If yours has holes, I guess it must be correct to say that it did not go in this 'thru the slot' type bracket.

The 2nd picture that Steve posted is of a much smaller sign that mounted on a oil can rack.
