Double sided porcelain sign with pedestal embossed base. The base is embossed with Standard Oil of Kentucky on it. Out picking the other day with my buddy and found this sign and had to have it with my collection, I have never seen a pedestal standard oil sign with an embossed base. I tried to beat the old guy up on the price, but he was firm. Anyways it was a great pic for me. Hope you enjoy the pics.
