SST. One of the finest examples of this C. 1920's Tin Sign from Oilzum Motor Oils we have ever sold, showing a large Can graphic as well as large Oilzum script throughout the field with original wood frame. A product of The White & Bagley Company, Worcester. Massachusetts. CONDITION: Sign is in excellent condition overall showing excellent color & gloss in the white & orange script with an outstanding condition Gallon Can graphic. Sign shows heavy spotting in the black Tin like most examples of this Sign we have ever seen, most likely some form of factory flaw in the black paint. The entire Sign has been treated with some type of preserving oil such as tung or linseed oil which has really helped preserve the paint from any major age wear issues. Sign shows minimal scratching in the paint of the "M" of America's as well as light paint wear in the "LZ" of Oilzum. The Oswald and Can graphics are both excellent and free of any major wear. The original wood framing is also in outstanding condition showing no heavy wear with a large majority of original paint present with damage free backing. One of the finest examples we have ever sold of this Sign, and a tough to upgrade piece of rare Oilzum advertising.
