I was busy collecting shards of spaceships when I hit upon this! Eight inches deep. I stopped chopping at it when I realized I was seeing baked enamel. This thing is 30 inches in diameter. Can't wait to get it cleaned up. Now where are them 'merican picker guys?

double-sided to boot (though I can't honestly say either side is in very good condition).....still, it is a very interesting old gas sign especially considering Red Crown was the first ethyl gasoline so even in that condition you may find some interest.

Very nice find! Not sure how rare that one is. Can you clean it up any better?

Thanks for all the good input! I will be keeping this one, Tom and Frank are just going to have to wait.javascript:void(0); One side (the top presentation) looks to have a lot of enamel left on it and I will clean it (gently). I do have room in the garage, hopefully. Pics when done.

That's a good find poptop would love to see it once it's been all cleaned up.

All the best

You get the prize for the biggest find today. That would look nice hanging in the garage.
