This sign is a rare example of what I believe was a locally owned petroleum company known as General Petroleum Products Co. I'm not sure this is correct though. This sign has lasted through the years and has imperfections here and there like most of these signs. I have included a vintage photo of a General gas station in Los Angeles. It's on the left side of the photo. Note the Pacific Trunk Factory next door. Due to the cars in the photo. This may be dated in the 1929-1939 era.
I've decided to post one random antique per day during the workweek.
Very nice !

You're welcome. I see that you are a cookie jar collector as well. Most of my collection is by Shawnee Pottery, with the exception of two jars. Check out my cookie jars when you get a chance neighbor.

From what I remember the Standard oil co of NY merged with the Vacuum co in 1931. I have never seen this sign before. Maybe someone else can chime in.
Dang, that's an incredible Petroliana sign!
Awesome sign!!! The photo and the local history make it priceless !!!
