Here's a photo of my grandfather at his Standard station in Milwaukee, WI. The photo was made into a mural to cover the service panel in my garage.

Do you have a preferred color?
I've personally seen em in Blue,Red,Green,White,Yellow &amp; Cream (Beige).
If you do find one,make sure it's not painted.
A few are painting them to customers desire,then saying they're authentic.
Porcelain doesn't scratch off. </div></div>

Good advice, I am familiar with porcelain and how it should look. Most all of those lights have a thin black band around the edge/lip. I prefer to find stuff that has not been messed with. Color? Beggars can't be choosers, lol. Red, Blue or Green would be my preference.

These pictures were in a old house I bought as a rental. Guy was a Photographer for the local paper.
Sorry that one is not gas station related, but it has an interesting, artistic appeal to it IMO.

Re: Gas Stations
 

Green is the most common,used @ docks,farms,bulk plants and many stations too.
Blue &amp; Red are the most sought after &amp; usually have to pay a premium.
White,Yellow &amp; Cream the hardest to find,but not much interest once they are,due to those colors.

Bought a few things from someone out of state.
Turned out,they used to own a local Sunoco Gas station right here a few towns over from me as a kid,Dons Sunoco.
They included these items along as a keepsake. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

I worked at a Sunoco during my formative years and love the memorabilia:-)

The best days were when hot cars came in to gas up of beautiful women came in to gas up....... I always washed their windows:-)
