      If those are bullet holes, I bet the Esso & Standard signs are from the South.

      The Shell sign is one of my very favorites! It is often referred to as the "shark's tooth" Shell sign.
      What you are calling embossed on that sign is referred to as "shelving" of the porcelain. Nicely pronounced on that particular sign.
      I like all of those you are displaying!!

      thanks Dave, your right about the shelving term,,,the shark tooth is new to me...

      does anyone know the exact date this shell sign is, I see all types,but this one looks to be the best made,,
