I ran across this picture on ebay and was delighted to see a sign/pump plate I have never seen before!!! "Sunoco Gasoline" And it's a big one! With the model T to the right, I'm thinking 19-teens and pre the creation of Sunoco "Blue" which according to one source I've found happens in 1927 (although I'm not completely convinced that "Blue" didn't show up just a little earlier than that) http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/sunoco-inc-history/Incredible!! Now to find one!!

Good eyes Steve! Is it a Sign or a decal?

Well Owen, that did cross my mind!! Not sure how I could ever really know except that it is somewhat similar in size to a lubester sign that they used around the same period. Actually even bigger it appears.

I found another picture with this "Sunoco Gasoline" sign in it.
And what I'm thinking is this globe I recently bought.
