Nice Pan-Am ethyl sign. I really like ethyl stuff (hence the screen name) this one Im unsure of the area it was sold in. It looks almost identical to my red crown ethyl sign and I know they are both a Standard gas sign but does anyone know what state or area Pan-Am would have been sold in?

mess. a seller of a Pan-Am oil can & mess. him about where there there sales area was located in & he told me he oicked up the oil can in Buenos Aries .
I believe it was in the 20s-30s and then they were bought out, but I've been told PanAm signs are hard to find. Nice sign! Google search Pan Am Gasoline and see what happens.
Great Sign, I'm baffled by mine too. Please take a look and see if you have any idea. Keep Hunting!!!
