Description
Arguably the most difficult Red Hat sign to find, this example presents a rare opportunity to purchase a true, high condition Petroliana Holy Grail. The sign presents with excellent color and gloss, and features a large Red Hat logo in the field with the Independent "Thunderbird" logo in the lower field. Side #1 has a clean field with a chip in the "E" of Gasoline. The perimeter has small chips at two of the mounting holes and outer edges. The reverse has minor storage marks with tiny factory imperfections and flea bites in the fields. The sign is mounted in a new metal ring which is in excellent condition. Overall an incredible key Petroliana sign with both rarity and condition.
