FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS A VINTAGE “BARDAHL MOTOR OIL ADDITIVE DIE-CUT THIEF OR BURGLAR” 12″ BY 6.5″ BAKED METAL (OVER 13 OUNCES) GASOLINE & OIL ADVERTISING SIGN. THIS SIGN IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION WITH VERY NICE COLOR, GLOSS AND SUBJECT MATTER. THIS SIGN HAS GREAT DIE-CUT GRAPHICS OF THE BARDAHL DIE-CUT DETECTIVE, BURGLAR OR THIEF THAT WAS VERY POPULAR DURING THE 1960’S. I REALLY LIKE THE COLOR AND SHAPE OF THIS SIGN AS IT ALMOST REMINDS ME OF GO GO GADGET AND ALSO LOOKS LIKE A BURGLAR OR THIEF. TO TOP IT ALL OFF THIS SIGN HAS A GREAT DIE-CUT SHAPE AND IS MADE OF THICK BAKED METAL. THIS SIGN WAS FOUND IN A LARGE ADVERTISING COLLECTION. THIS SIGN MEASURE 12″ BY 6.5″ AND WEIGHTS 13 OUNCES AND IS MADE OF REAL BAKED METAL THAT DOES NOT BEND EASILY. THIS HAS GREAT COLORS AND GRAPHICS AND IS A NICE PIECE OF ADVERTISING.
