Hello forum! I was excavating a basement foundation today and found an old Pontiac sign. I was amazed at the depth it was and how well it held up being buried for so long. I found some examples online but I’m not sure exactly what kind of business it was or the era that it’s from. I think it’s 42” wide..Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks Darin, I went ahead and bought it for around $575 after tax and fees. Don't know if this is a good price, but I wanted it.
I did notice on the pic of the box, there was faint printing that said Mobilgas.
I have been following this sellers items for quite a while, and have seen lots of quality items sell. This was his 10th auction, Must have a huge collection, I also have weakness for old tools. so I have been adding some pieces to my stash!

I have two late sixties Sunoco blend pumps and am hoping to find two metal frame assemblies (what I would call toppers). Of course, would also love to find the advertising cover that Sunoco would've used.

Regards,

For your consideration is a really nice 10x8 Amoco double side plastic. Was just pulled out of a barn yesterday and all I have done is wipe it down. All the internals appears to be there Also all the plastic is intact with no cracks. On one side the flame is faded but would be an easy repaint or just leave as is. This will need to be picked up in Johnson City TN 37615. Asking $5,000. MAKE OFFER I need gone!!!

To MATT ALVAREZ and advertologist
Thanks so much for these picts of Shell, Shelltox sprayers and Phillips 44 insecticide cans. I think, the orange Shell sprayer item on the right in the first pict is the most rare. OK if you can send me a pict of this one, I will replace the model with an oval tank in the table with this rarer model.
The Phillips 44 insecticide can is in a very good shape, hard to find in this new condition , I put one like this in the book, and another one with a mosquito instead of the fly !

I continued to write the book, here are 3 pages taken from it, you 'll see some Shelltox. I have more than 40 Shell and Shelltox sprayers and I will put the more beautiful items in the full book's pages.

Somebody knows what company bought A-Penn Champ oil corp ?

What model? 39?

Vintage in the eyes of the person listing these signs means the paint is dry!

Nice pieces, sorry I don't have value or info, but I love those colors together. Reminds me of Enarco cans.

Looks like the one out of a GB 105

Here's a link to Gas Pump Rob's video.

Great!
Thank you....

Sometimes it’s hard to do things differently, but once you do, you say to yourself “I should’ve done that years ago.” Maintaining a business can be a chore at times, so enjoy your new found time.

Thanks for the nice comments, yeah that little MobilGas stamped sign took forever, I was "off the clock" learning that process for sure.
