SST. Incredible and highly sought after C. 1930's Grizzly Gasoline 24" Tin Service Station Sign showing the iconic Grizzly graphic with the "Dubbs Cracked" phrase at the left. This is most likely the only known example of this Sign in a 24" size, an extreme rarity for an extremely rare brand. A product of Northwest Refining Company, Cut Bank, Montana. CONDITION: Sign is in overall very good condition throughout showing a clean field with a clean Grizzly graphic with very good color & gloss throughout. Sign shows minimal paint nicks in the Bear graphics as well as some minor areas of surface scratching in the inner field. Sign shows some minor paint scratching in the outer field of the "Grizzly" lettering as well as a heavier scratch in the "N" of Gasoline that extends into the foot of the Bear graphic. The outer edge is clean showing some minor paint loss in the blue bordered edge. Sign shows all four of its original brass grommets and looks like it could possibly improve with a light cleaning. One of Gas & Oils most highly coveted brands and most likely the only known example of this iconic piece fro Grizzly Gasoline.
Condition: (8.0).
Item Dimensions: 24" Dia.
