I am filling in for Ted this month on "SOTM". The featured company will be Skelly Oil Company. Please include all porcelain, metal and paper signs and any information you have on them including size. The first sign I am posting is from my brother's collection. It is metal and approx. a 4 footer.

I'M GONNA JUMP IN AN GO OUTTA BOUNDS HERE AS THIS THREAD NEEDS SOME SUPPORT. I LIKE THE SKELLY SIGN LIKE THE ONE ON RON'S TRAILER, BUT TOO BIG! PLUS WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF FINDING ONE CLOSE TO MY LONG ISLAND HOME? THAT'S RIGHT!....MOST LIKELY...."NEVER!" SO BEING THE TALENTED AND ARTISTIC PAINTER THAT I CONSIDER MYSELF...I MADE MY OWN ON A 3/4" PIECE OF PLYWOOD THAT SPENT MOST OF IT'S PRIOR LIFE AS A BAR TABLE! IT HAD A NICE HEAVY GLOSS ON IT AND THAT WAS THE BASE FOR A SMOOTH AS A BABY'S.....AND A SHINE SO NICE IT LOOKS LIKE PORCELAIN. SIZE: 31" SQ OR 44" CORNER TO CORNER. I APOLOGIZE IF ANYONE THINKS THIS DRIBBLE OF MY TALENT BELONGS IN THE TRASH....ANYWAY HERE IT IS....THAT'S MY STORY - AND I'M GONNA STICK TO IT!

DOC, you are always thinking outside the lines and that is a compliment (SIGN LOOKS GOOD).
DID YOU SHAVE YOUR HEAD OR IS THIS AN OLD PICTURE???????????
