Description

UP FOR SALE IS THIS VINTAGE NOS ULTRA RARE PORCELAIN 1936 TEXACO NEW MOTOR OIL 30" X 30" DOUBLE SIDED CURB SIGN. THIS SIGN WAS FOUND BACK IN THE MIDDLE 80'S IN A OLD TEXACO STATION THERE WERE THREE LEANING AGAINST A BENCH WITH THE ORIGINAL RICE PAPER BETWEEN THEM IN THE BACK ROOM. THE OTHER TWO ARE IN PRIVATE COLLECTIONS.THERE IS SOME DAMAGE ON ONE SIDE WHEN THEY WERE DROPPED ON THE FLOOR NEXT TO THE BENCH AND SAT THERE FOR FIFTY PLUS YEARS! BUT OTHER THAN THAT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW SMALL CHIPS ON THE EDGES THIS SIGN IS IN SUPER NICE WITH FANTASTIC COLOR AND SHINE!! THIS OIL WAS ONLY MADE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS THEN THEY WENT TO TEXACO INSULATED OIL.SO THATS WHY THEY WERE UNUSED! BEING A PREWAR SIGN MAKES THIS RARE BEING IT WAS ONLY MADE FOR A YEAR OR TWO I BELIEVE MOST OF THESE SIGNS WENT FOR SCRAP FOR THE WAR EFFORT! I HAVE ONLY SEEN ONE AND IT WAS A LITHOED SIGN IN VERY POOR CONDITION!! I THINK YOU BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND ANOTHER ONE!! IN ANY CONDITION!! IF YOU HAVE A TEXACO COLLECTION THIS WOULD MAKE A CROWNING JEWEL TO THAT COLLECTION TO HAVE SUCH A ULTRA RARE SIGN!! OR FOR THAT FACT ANY COLLECTION WOULD BENIFIT FROM THIS BEAUTIFUL RARE PIECE!!
THANKS FOR VIEWING!!!         HAPPY BIDDING!!!!
