1930s Shell sign
I volunteer at our local Heritage Museum and this winter we have been restoring a 1930s Shell petrol pump. I Googled for some images and spotted the attached which I have reproduced. It will be laminated and mounted in the restored frame.

Re: 1930s Shell sign
Nice work!

It reminds me of an old photo I have of my grandfather's gas station, near their house.  I have no idea what brand of gas he sold, and the photo is B&W anyway.  Easily could have been Shell though.  But those old photos sure bring back memories of childhood!  There's a recent drawing in the Inkscape website gallery, showing an old Texaco sign:  https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/6681/

(PS - You know anyone is welcome to set up their own personal gallery in our gallery, right?  Only if you like  :))
