THIS IS AN ORIGINAL SHELL DEALER SIGN AND MOST LIKELY FROM THE 1940's/1950's ERA. WHEN I BOUGHT THIS IT WAS IN VERY ROUGH CONDITION AND MOST OF THE ORIGINAL PAINT WAS CHIPPING OR BADLY FADED. SO IT HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY RESTORED AND LOOKS INCREDIBLE. I HAVE ATTACHED LOTS OF VERY GOOD PHOTO'S FROM EVERY ANGLE, SO PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO LOOK THRU ALL THE PHOTO'S. MY PHOTO'S DON'T DO THIS PIECE JUSTICE AND IT LOOKS WAY BETTER IN PERSON. SIGN IS STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW AND LAYS FLAT. HAS ABSOLUTELY NO BENDING OR BOWING. IT WAS TAKEN APART, SAND BLASTED AND REPAINTED. THE RESTORER REASEARCHED THE ORIGINAL COLORS AND MATCHED THEM JUST AS THEY ONCE WERE.. IT LOOKS JUST AS IT DID WHEN IT HUNG IN AN ACTUAL SHELL SERVICE STATION. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL, VERY HARD TO FIND PIECE. I RARELY SEE THESE COME UP FOR SALE, AND WHEN THEY DO THEY ARE USUALLY IN ROUGH CONDITION. YOU'D BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND A NICER ONE. IT DISPLAYS WELL AND WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT ADDITION TO ANY GAS & OIL OR TRANSPORTATION COLLECTION. GUARANTEED TO ARRIVE QUICKLY AND SAFELY.
