FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS A VINTAGE MOBIL “METRO” 11 3/4 PORCELAIN GAS & OIL SIGN. THIS SIGN FEATURES THE FAMOUS MOBIL “FLYING RED HORSE” OUTLINED IN GREEN WITH THE VERY RARE GREEN BOARDER & THE WORDS “METRO” WRITTEN ACROSS THE BOTTOM. THIS SIGN IS MARKED TEXLITE-DALLAS WHICH WAS FAMOUS FOR MAKING ANTIQUE SIGNS. THIS IS NOT AN EASY SIGN TO FIND ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION AND WITH ALL 4 ORIGINAL SPLIT BACK GROMMETS IN-TACKED. I WAS TOLD BY A COLLECTOR THAT METRO IS THE RAREST OF ALL THE MOBILGAS PUMP PLATES OUT THERE. THIS SHIELD SIGN IS QUITE A BIT HEAVIER THEN MOST OF THE OTHER MOBIL SHIELD SIGNS IN MY GRANDPAS COLLECTION. THIS SIGN WAS MADE BY TEXLITE DALLAS & WEIGHTS 2 LBS & 3 OZS WHERE AS A NORMAL ONE (NOT MADE BY TEXLITE DALLAS) WEIGHTS 1 LB 6 OZ. SIGN HAS A WHITE PORCELAIN BACK THAT ALSO SHOWS LIGHT WEAR. THIS IS A VERY HARD TO FIND SIGN SO DON’T LET THIS GET AWAY. SIGN SHOWS LIGHT WEAR & USE BUT DISPLAYS WELL. THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION.
