MobilGas sign....curious WIW?

[Prine]

I have a 1931 MobilGas Sign.....60" tall...double sided.... both sides visually equal.

Never really thought about selling it....but was asked and now I am,

Wondering what its worth....I have never seen another.



Discuss.....

I sent a message to them...we'll see what is said.

Had someone offer me $350.00 for it awhile back...(I still have it, so :happy1

I have done some research about the history of MY sign, and in doing so had to read up on the History of Mobil....and its pretty interesting:

I know......my sign is one of the EARLIEST 1931-1934 Mobilgass Socony-Vacuum 60" Hanging signs with a RED Border, (before the 1934' redesign with a Blue border)
and VERY RARE........they also made 50" signs.

I have never seen another 60"....the 50" signs are more COMMON., but I still havent seen (1).
