This 2 sided Tiolene Motor Oil flange sign was one of my first purchases, and as some guy named Mike says, it is "roached". It is 17 1/2" and I will say, I have not seen any others with the cursive Tiolene script. I like it, but an early impulse purchase to say the least.

Thanks craigalan !
I found an advertising card that shows the cursive Tiolene logo. I posted photos of the card which was mailed out in 1925; this will help date this sign.
Thank you ManCaveShoppe !
Very cool sign, I like weathered signs just as much as perfect signs.
