72” 1956 Texaco Double Sided Porcelain Service Station Sign

Six Feet of Texaco. All Original. All Porcelain.

This is the kind of petroliana that anchors a collection. A 72-inch double-sided porcelain Texaco service station sign, dated October 1956 — right in the heart of the golden age of American roadside culture. The Texaco star is one of the most iconic symbols in petroleum advertising history, and a sign of this size and quality doesn't surface often.

Both sides display strong color and gloss with minimal scratches, chips, and wear throughout — exceptional for a sign pushing 70 years old. The bottom center edge is stamped 10-56, confirming the original manufacture date. The sign still retains its original hanger, which is increasingly rare on pieces of this age and adds meaningful provenance and display value.
