I got this from one of my honey holes, when I first saw it two and a half years ago it wasn't for sale. Called the owner yesterday and just brought it up like I have time and time again and this time he said yes. I'm so happy I got it in my collection. Picked it up from him today he met me at his building and made a special trip for me because he is only open on Wednesdays. The last two pics are the way I got it and the first two pics after deep cleaning.
Nice pick! Is it porcelain or painted? Any bullet holes?
Thanks for the love Welzebub.

Does the Shell sign have a 1929 date on it? If not it is from the 30's era.
It doesn't have a date on it.

I think that all of us serious collectors who don't make a buz of collection ought to know who each other are so we don't have to go through places like Ebay to increase our collections? I can be reached at Kauairooster@gmail.com if you have stuff to trade. We don't sell but we do get extras of cool signs to trade to other collectors for stuff we don't have.
You are right Rattletrap I love a good trade, thanks for reaching out to me:)
Thanks again everyone for all the loves and support greatly appreciated:)

Thanks for all your kind comments:) greatly appreciated!!!!!
I agree with kaputs11. U have the collecting bug like I do and love the hunt and the find. We are like gold miners, oil exploration drillers, fishermen, hunters, and winning athletes. We love the suspense and exhilaration of success. I can see it in the smile & and twinkle in your eyes. It's not about just buying a sign, as anyone can do that on EBay, it's about getting a great deal on a sign and the fun of the hunt for original and difficult sources. That's what I read in the pix
Thanks for the love kaputs11 and the nice comment:) I really do enjoy collecting and sharing my finds.
Thanks for hitting the love button again ho2cultcha:)
Thanks for the love and nice comment Rattletrap:) it's the rush I get when I find a great sign out in the wild and I seal the deal!!
Well put Rattletrap I am like Jacques Cousteau :) instead of exploring the sea I explore the land in search of New and Interesting things, taking down notes and getting names and numbers for that next big adventure:) And just like Jacques the thrill is on the hunt !!!

Have I been hacked?
Love it again Trey? Did something happen to your pic here? Just say your own last post?
~ LOL.....with these Big Signs, one wonder what your wearing behind it...LOL. My friend said it looked like you were naked hiding behind the Sign. I KNOW THAT IS NOT TRUE -- but funny how some people see things differently .

Came to see if the colour matches my Weiss brooch - and it does!
Love the colour of the Shell sign against your bright green car in the background - Really makes it pop! Great find :D
I would love to collect vintage signs but, unfortunately, they would never fit in my tiny house - that sign is almost as big as my kitchen...
Thanks for the love DanteDreaming and the nice comments :) you could collect some small signs to fit in your space:)
I have a patch of empty wall inside my tiny house that's 39 x 78 inches - so it would have to be some pretty small signs! Otherwise there's always the roof I guess...
Unfortunately our vintage signs here in Australia seem much harder to come by, and mostly seem to be advertising biscuits and tea - I blame the British for that ;)
I’m friends with a collector from Australia on Facebook and he has some amazing stuff :)
I also like your green truck - I think the colour change was a great choice!
Thank you and Yes green is my favorite color:)
Your friend from Australia must have picked all the good stuff and left everyone else with just the tea and biscuit signs to choose from ;)
LOL DanteDreaming:) He does have a bunch of stuff !!

Happy New Year 2020 !!!
Hi Trey! I think this is the 3rd love for me! I just wanted to know if you put some kind of clear spray over it after your cleaning job? Would that stop the rust? It sure did come clean 6 years ago! happy new decade!
Happy New Year 2020 shareurpassion:) Thank you for the love :) I just cleaned it with Barkeepers Friend and it shined up real nice :)
I've never heard of that stuff. So I imagine it prevents further rusting! Good job!
It’s like comet but a lot stronger :) It’s a very good cleaner of porcelain :) The porcelain finish on the sign polished up nice:)
You find it at Dollar General and Family Dollar.
