My most recent find is a Gargoyle Mobiloil Authorized Service Sign. From the late 1920's, the sign measures at 19 1/2" X 24". Found in Fremont, Indiana; the sign is in decent shape. Nothing is more exciting than finding these treasures when out hunting!

Many thanks to adkmetalman for stopping by.
Thanks adkmetalman. Mobil Gargoyle dates back to the 1930s and before, so the prices will be up there. I have paid a decent sum for my Gargoyle items, but if you look carefully, good deals can be had. Be careful though, there are a few fakes out there!
Thanks to madvan and ipungsoc!
Thanks to petey !
