Need help determining value of this Humble Oil sign. Excellent condition front and back. Glossy colors.
What year(s) or period were these dealer signs used in? Value range based on todays market? wholesale-retail

That eBay one isn't the same sign. Look at the blue border, also the holes are in different spots. The one on eBay is 5.75", I assume this one is larger. I'm not a sign expert, but the one on eBay has rough lines around the borders of the letters, this one looks much smoother, could just be the pictures though.
Nice sign by the way!

Looks like a pump plate from the 50s-60s.

Sorry guys been out of pocket for awhile. The sign is 30+ inches across. Its a good size orginal Humble Oil Dealer sign. I am trying to determine the period these signs were used from? A gentleman's grandfather, whom I aquired it from worked at the old Houston Humble Oil airport hanger orginally. The sign is glossy and perfect condition except the holes where chips are.

...check the back side - I have seen Carter signs in this size, but they have brackets on the back from which they hang...could be the chipped holes are chipped because they were drilled out later...
Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...
