Oozing that luxurious 1970s vibe, this was right at home in your local Cadillac dealership! This faux wood hanging sign looks heavy but only weighs about 22 pounds. Each side is curved inward with the iconic Cadillac crest embossed. It measures 26 inches side to side and 18 inches tall. The top round hole measures 5 inches, and the sign is hollow inside. The attached chains allow you to hang it from the ceiling with ease. It is in excellent shape with minor marks on the outer edges. Due to the size, please get in touch with us for a shipping quote. Of course, we will gladly bring it to our next show for you to pick up.

Like a beacon in the night sky, this Pure Gasoline sign lets weary travelers know where to “Be Sure With Pure” on their journey! Produced by Kolux Signs, this 37-inch round light-up sign features a metal body with a plastic face, the iconic sawtooth around the outside, and “Pure” in the middle. The plastic face is impeccable, with just a few light scratches in the field. The outer edge of the plastic face has some light rubbing, which is typical due to the age of this piece. The metal body is also in great shape and shows typical wear for the age. It is marked “Kolux Kokomo Indiana” on one side of the metal body and has the specifications on the other, with a date of manufacture of 7-27-66. Upgraded lights inside give you years of worry-free enjoyment. Due to the larger size, we cannot ship this item. We would be glad to meet you at one of our many shows.

Full of color and life, this large Coca-Cola six-pack sign features the larger King Size bottles available at your local grocery store. Coca-Cola introduced the 10-ounce bottle, dubbed “King Size,” to offer customers more for their money. Still small compared to today, customers rushed to purchase the larger bottles. This masonite King Size 6-pack sign measures 40 inches tall by 29.5 inches wide and is die-cut to accentuate the bottles in the six-pack. We believe Coke placed this large sign on the side or back of a Coca-Cola delivery truck for customers to see and then flock to the grocery store to purchase. Light scratches with color loss are mainly on this rare piece’s left and right sides. The reverse side features a metal bracket that allows Coca-Cola to remove it from the truck when needed. The Authentication Company has authenticated this sign and carries TAC # 044333.

Measuring twenty-four inches tall by thirty inches wide, this heavy-duty metal sign is vibrantly colored and advertises United Commercial Travelers of America! United Commercial Travelers is an insurance company with agents nationwide, so this sign would tell customers that this agent sold UCT insurance. The blue letters stand out nicely against the almost reflective white background. In contrast, the gold background on the bottom provides a nice contrast behind the blue-outlined briefcase hanging from chains. A few light scuffs are on the face of the sign, which has multiple mounting holes so you can easily display it.

Barney Google debuted in 1919 as a comic strip and gained an instant following as a lovable character involved with poker, horse racing, and prize fights. His horse, Spark Plug, was introduced in 1922. Readers loved the bow-legged nag who seldom raced and was always covered in a wool blanket with his name on the side. This wooden toy is taken from the comic strip and produced by King Features Syndicate, Inc., as marked on his belly. Spark Plug is in excellent shape with beautiful markings, upward-pointed ears, a nice tail, and his rare blanket. The bottom snap is missing on the blanket but not noticeable. It is a neat century-old toy that looks cool on a shelf!

One word to describe this beautiful Oilzum sign is Rare! There you have it, folks! This spectacular double-sided Oilzum Motor Oil metal sign is triangle-shaped and features Oilzum’s mascot. Plus, the sign has the original bracket from which to hang it! How can it get any better than that? Both sides feature excellent gloss and sharp colors with minor edge wear. Side A has a curved dent around the left outer mounting holes, two bends just above the “z” in Oilzum, and a tiny edge bend on the right side with a small chip above the outer mounting holes. Side B features the same bends (but on opposite sides), along with a mark over the “i” and a scratch over the “z,” and has some light paint over spray on the top half of the sign. Both sides are marked with a trademark and “A-M 6-71” in the lower point. The black metal bracket will allow you to hang this beauty with ease and allow you to admire it!

A staple outside your local service station, this Royal Crown Cola thermometer features the red eye-catching RC logo at the top and their light blue and white colors below. The metal thermometer measures 13.5 inches tall by 5.75 inches wide with outer curved edges, allowing it to stand a quarter of an inch away from the wall. The glass thermometer tube is original and is operating correctly. There are some light marks on the surface under close inspection, but they are not noticeable once hanging on the wall. Some minor chips with paint loss are around the outer edges as well. Excellent gloss and shine give this pretty little thermometer a grade of a 9.
