Anyone here familiar with these signs and what something like this is worth?
It is 30" x 30" and double sided. I haven't been able to find anything else like it. Any way to authenticate it or accurately date it?

Anything particular that lends to it? You may be right, I just haven't seen anything like it (which may be a sign itself), so I do not know what to compare it to or look for

I have seen European Shell signs that used this lettering. I don't know if it's real or not, but I have seen Shell signs that looked similar in the European market.

This picture is from http://www.vintageadbrowser.com/oil-and-gas-ads-misc-years/2. Apparently the site is a collection of old ads from all over the world. The site doesn't state where this sign is from.
