@TLew There are not any markings on the sign or dated from the manufacture, I do have a gasoline book that shows all the different logos used for most of all the oil and gas companies threw there years of service and operation. This particular logo was used in the early 1950s until the Conoco oval (hotdog) style porcelain sign was used. Also this particular sign is solid porcelain above and below the word Conoco and a few inches taller and wider than the typical Conoco sign that is hallow above and below the word Conoco. I have been Collecting high grade signs for 30 years and this is the 2nd one of this style I have seen. I guarantee this sign to be real, authentic, all original 100% money back, buy back guarantee, it would be very hard to upgrade on this sign,. The sign is TAC authenticated, I hope this additional information helps, thank you
