I just purchased 4 of these signs they measure 9'-9" x 3'-9" (very large) they are porcelain are are in pretty nice shape. I have tried to find information on these signs but have not been able to find any thing close to the design or size,all the SACONY signs I see are much smaller. I do know that SACONY later became MOBIL Any info you can share would be appreciated.
