This is a tin lid to some sort of Mobil product. It is 11" x 11" with a key to roll up the lid like a really big sardine can.
Someone carefully removed it for preservation apparently and then apparently ruined it by leaving it outside. Lots of fading from sunlight and rust. The rust isn't so bad but I think the damage done by the sunlight was more serious. Only porcelain signs should be exposed to direct sunlight.
There are four of the famed Pegasus on the lid. They can be seen if one looks at the enlarged version along with "Mobil" x 2.
It is on display in my mini man cave around the circular staircase.
Thank you very much Nicefice. That is a good way to put it.
Thank you

If you can clean it, and I'd look into diluting Oxalic Acid, wipe WD40 on it. Supposedly, it will bring back some colour.
Thank you very much SpiritBear. I will look into that.
