Hi all I'm new to the forum, and here for some help if possible please - I haven't been able to get any information anywhere on the sign in the attached photo. It's quite significant in size (exactly 4ft square / 1.22m x 1.22m) and on iron/steel.
The wear you see has been part of it since it came into my possession some years ago. I like to think of it as character... (cough). It's a very striking and imposing object, not to mention it ways a significant amount.
I dug something up a while back regarding it possibly being related to paraffin sales, but have not been able to find anything that's an absolute match at all anywhere. given the scale of it I've assumed (probably incorrectly) that it's a forecourt sign of some sort, but I have no idea at all where it's come from, as it was in a house we bought some time ago and since then has made the move with us on more than one occasion.
Any help regarding the identity and background to this variant of the shell logo and the sign itself would be incredibly appreciated.
Many thanks
