That is a great sign. Freedom stuff is rare and very hard to find.
No graphics but really.....really cool!! Would love to have it in my collection. From Ohio too.
Very nice sign!
thanks chevy59!
A fairly rare sign and a great find! From the Freedom Oil Works Co., Freedom Pa. They had a Bulldog logo, and a tagline of "Watch dog of your motor". At least thats what my bulldog Sluggo tells me. Probably 1930's or 40's.
thanks for the info rocker-sd!
thanks trukn20!
thanks seeker1157!
thanks metalman!
Oilman, I have a friend that only collects freedom oil. We are from Freedom Pennsylvania where freedom oil was founded in 1866 or 1879. It is sort of a mystery as to which year is correct. Would you consider selling this sign? I would like to give it to my friend for his collection. What is the size of this sign? Thanks- Dan (724-462-4974)
sold this sign a while but i know where a nicer one is locally. I might know your friend
Yea? If you could see if one is available locally that would be great. My friend's last name is Baker. Let me know. Thanks
Thank you I love your whole collection do you know how old my sign is? your signs probably take alot of storage space or do you hang them up like i plan to do to mine.
