SST. One of the most eye-appealing and unique pieces of Service Station Advertising ever produced and one of only two known examples is this very unique Husky Gasoline & Motor Oils Tin Billboard Sign with its Original Wood Frame. This large centerpiece features the iconic Husky Dog graphic leaping through a bright light burst graphic with snow covered trees. CONDITION: Sign is in overall excellent condition for its age as well as size showing excellent color & gloss throughout the field showing four colors with nice shelving between each color of paint. Sign shows a nominal amount of minor surface scratches throughout the field with the largest portion of scratching above the "SK" of Husky that have been lightly color matched. The Husky Dog shows a few minor areas of faint surface scratch as well as two areas of paint nicks but overall displays outstanding and is very clean. The outer field shows minor areas of scratching mostly at the top side but none of which is overly distracting or detracts from the image. The piece is bright and glossy and is a visual statement of unique Husky Gasoline advertising. The original wood frame is also in excellent condition showing a large majority of its original paint with no major damages as well as its original metal corner tabs. The original backing is also in outstanding condition as well free of any major wear. An incredible piece of unique and rare Signage from Husky Gasoline, and a very rare chance at one of the finest examples of graphics in all of Gasoline & Motor Oils advertising.
