We got this beautiful Red Indian Frontenac Gas sign from a Collector in Texas before we realized just how hard they are to find. The very cool Clear Vision 700 matching gas pump came from a collector in Mo and was just a stack of parts which required a lot of serious hunting and a trip to Edmonton Canada to finally have enough parts to restore it. It's very hard for us "Bottom Feeder" collectors to find big signs anymore as the prices have gone nuts! We still love the hunt and occasionally find a real gem to add to the Lakeside Storage Free Museum.
Awesome! Absolutely A Stunner!!!

Thx for the compliment. The sign has been touched up a fair amount but only cost $1000 and we are thrilled to have it in our collection. Pretty hard to find these signs in the US as it was a Canadian Company.
GR8 sign and gorgeous pump! Best part of the sign is the pole and that awesome mount. NICE FINDS!!!
Akrodog,
Thx for the observation and comment. We agree that this unique pole is exceptional as well. Really different poles are extremely hard to find and when this turned up at an old sign builders shop we could not believe our eyes! After finding it we had to convince its owner to sell it a a few others to us. Since he doesn't sell stuff, this became a real challenge for a couple of years. As you can see, we were eventually successful and thrilled! Then we had to wait to find a sign "worthy" of the cool pole! This Red Indian made a worthy match.
