Description

Outstanding SSP sign has excellent color and gloss. The sign is exceptionally rare with this being the only example we have seen. Believed to be a wagon sign, circa 1915-1920, acquired from a descendant of the original owner who delivered Aladdin Kerosene by horse and wagon. The sign features seven colors of porcelain enamel with a genie lamp in the upper field and centennial coin graphics in the outer fields. The display is clean with minor factory imperfections in the outer fields. The perimeter has a chip on the left edge below 9 o'clock. All four factory grommets are present. The sign includes a "Always Use Aladdin Oil in Your Lamp" felt advertising mat which measures 7.25" x 7.25". Overall an exceptional highly desirable Aladdin Security Oil sign featuring heavy shelving and numerous porcelain enamel colors. This sign is the only known surviving example.
