Welcome up for your consideration is this beautiful Mobil Pegasus "Flying Red Horse" porcelain coated gas station sign, in wonderful condition for the age. This sign came from a "full service" mobil gas station, in the Pennsylvania area. (This sign was found in servicefrom the station) This classic old sign is back from the good old days, when full service meant full service,and has significant value in the collectable world. in fact many rate it as one of the most prized memorabilia to be had....the "Big red flying horse". It is dated under the belly LR61?{A little hard to read.} It is a4 piece bolt on, there is the body,a pair of frontlegs, a pair of back legs and the tail.
There are some porcelain chips, a few dings, andsome rust from being outside,as seen in photos, in my opinion the chips add character and originality.
As far as shipping goes, the buyer will need to make arrangements for crating and pick up service. The buyer will be responsable for all costs,I would demand a sign off letter as to condition before release of item. I will help in any way I can.Or you can pick up in person, which is the prefered option.
( I am located in South Western PA)
I believe this to be the largest one made in this style. About 94 inches from front hoof to rear hoof, 3 inches thick (The border of the sign that shows white) Both original brackets are still on it. The back side is in good condition. All the mounting stands are solid. The sign weights approx 80 pounds,( guessing) it is a little hard to weight. It takes 2 solid people to maneuver, so as to not let it flex.
This sign is also for sale locally.
I have seen this same type sign, which to my knowledge,is the largest ever made, sell between a high of 10,000 to a low of $7,900

In checking the horse over and answering a few questons from other members there is a slight bend in the nose area and one tip of the mane has a ding that might not have shown up in the photos clearly. Any one needing photos please let me know, Thanks
