This is a two sided sign that was found in an old restaurant that had closed down and it seems some of you may enjoy taking a look at. It is about 13 inches in length by 10 inches in height. I am not able to find a sign that looks like this from my research. There are others that are similar with red and white coloring. This one seems to have a unique color combination and says motor oil and lubes not just motor oil.
It also seems to be made of a plastic like material or bakelite. Any feedback on this item would be greatly appreciated as to when it may be from or anything else for that matter. If not no biggie.
Thank you as always my friends for any assistance you may provide and for taking a peek at this. Have a great night and remainder of the week! : )

Looks almost like a Military Badge
I appreciate the love on this item Shawn. You gonna join the Wolf's Head Army with me? : )
If you were in the military Shawn your finds would be comparable to being a Five-Star General and receiving the most esteemed badge that can be earned with all your amazing finds! Keep 'em coming!
Very funny! Thanks though Electobacco, you have many excellent Wartime and Advertising pieces yourself, im sure that if you were in the army you'd be head of the search and rescue antiques division!
You are welcome my friend and thank you for the additional comment as well. It does take a team to win in any sort of battle. And I guess you and I are both part of a team, as well as other collectors, in a battle to preserve history...which is a pretty cool thing.... : )
Thank you vintagemad! Have an awesome day and remainder of the week! May you make your best vintage clothing find yet sometime this week!! : )

Thank you Grendelking....
I have a free standing (about 3' tall) Wolf's Head Oil pump) on my garage. I don't have a photo yet. Any idea how old it might be or it's value? Thank you in advance.
What you may want to do Donna is put a picture up on this site of your item. It would make it easier for people to help you with any questions you may have on the item.
Thank you for enjoying this item collecting.... : )
