Today we're looking at a piece of Americana that evokes the golden age of the open road: an authentic Texaco Gasoline Porcelain Sign. Emblazoned with Texaco's distinctive red star and green 'T,' this sign is a vibrant relic from the 1940s, when porcelain signs were a common roadside attraction. Made by The Texas Company, its worn edges, rust, and patina tell tales of years gone by, capturing the era's gritty charm. While not entirely pristine, each chip and rust mark on its surface only adds to its storied history, making it a standout for collectors of gas station memorabilia. This particular sign, if authentic, might fetch between $300 and $600 at auction. It’s a perfect conversation starter for any garage or game room. This is Matt signing off: Keep on motorin' and I will see you again down the road.
