O Gauge (1:48 Scale)Vintage Gas Station Sign Set – By Cinder Shops For Sale

There was a time when two dollars and a little pocket change would fill the tank of your Volkswagen... and you\'d still have enough left over for a soda.

Back then, gas stations actually had gas station attendants.

If your battery died, there was usually a mechanic around who\'d grab a set of jumper cables—or better yet, give your VW a push so you could pop the clutch and be on your way.

Today?

Two dollars might buy enough gasoline to start the pump...

...and the \"mechanic\" has been replaced by a convenience store (with a question mark after convenience) selling cigarettes, beer, and kratom.

Now, I have to admit... I still don\'t know exactly what kratom is. I suspect it\'s the stuff that turns Superman into Jell-O.

But I digress...

This nostalgic O Gauge sign set brings back the days when service stations actually provided service.

• Vintage gasoline price sign
• \"Mechanic On Duty\" sign
• Rust-weathered bases
• Authentic mid-century styling

Gas Prices:

Regular – 28.9¢

Ethyl – 32.9¢

If you\'re under 40, you may think that\'s a typo.

It isn\'t.

One thing I remember about those old roadside signs...

They were almost never shiny.

Years of sunshine, rain, gasoline fumes, and the occasional customer who forgot where the brake pedal was gave them plenty of character.

So naturally...

I made these look like they\'ve been faithfully standing beside America\'s highways since the good old days.

These signs are designed to snap together.

No glue.

No tools.

No sanding.

No heavy thinking.

Just snap them together, slide the printed sign panels into place, and your vintage service station is ready for business.

Even the old mechanic could put one together...

...and he was usually busy fixing somebody\'s carburetor.

Gas was sold by the gallon...

Service came with a smile...

Someone checked your oil...

Cleaned your windshield...

Checked your tire pressure...

And if your Volkswagen wouldn\'t start, the mechanic usually knew exactly how to get you going again.

Sometimes progress isn\'t all it\'s cracked up to be.
