Large Illuminated Gulf Gas Station Pole Sign
Item Details
- Location: Hackettstown, NJ 07840
- Lot #: M-0048835
Available for auction is a large double-sided illuminated Gulf gas station sign thought to be from the 1960s or 1970s. Originally designed to sit atop a pole, the sign was produced by the manufacturer Dualite for gas stations. The impressive sign measures approximately 76” inches in width, and 73” inches in height, with a depth of 10” inches and weighs 275 pounds. The double-sided sign features plexiglas faces with the iconic blue, white, and orange Gulf logo. The sign is constructed of an aluminum and steel frame with mounting bolts on the bottom and shackle mounts on top for hanging.
The seller states the sign is in great condition and has recently undergone a refurbishment. The sign was freshly sanded and painted and the aluminum was polished. The seller notes some external sun bleaching patina on one side and a small crack which has been repaired (see gallery). 
The internal sign components are accessed via the sign’s removable faces. The original fluorescent lighting has been upgraded to more energy-efficient LED lights and has been rewired with 110v circuitry. The seller states he will arrange shipping, handling, and crating the sign at buyers expense. The buyer is responsible for shipping, shipping insurance, handling, and transactional fees.
Seller would like you to know: "Originally purchased from the Gulf gas station that was being converted to a Delta in Chester, NJ."

Not too long to go now to get this to it's new home.
This sign is the real deal and operates perfectly, but better.
Most of the ones I've seen come up at auctions have a list of items wrong with them.
From cracks, rust through, bent frames and supports.
There aren't many around in this condition.
I'm around if you have any questions.
Thanks for looking and bidding.

Really hoping it finds a new home today.
All newly rewired, upgraded LED No more ballasts! That's a big YEEHAW!

Just wanted to say thank you for bidding on this vintage piece of automotive memorabilia.
I put in over 30 hours to bring this Guld sign back to life.
Completely rewired, updated to LED lighting, polished the aluminum frame, sanded and painted all the steel to the original colors.
It's ready to hang in your man cave, shop or store.
I have all the necessary equipment to load it into your pick-up truck.
If you're local, 50 mile radius of my location (Hackettstown, NJ 07840), I'll even deliver it to you.
Any questions just hit the Contact Seller button and I'll respond very quickly.
