Lot 1 is a circa 1930 Richfield Oil Corp. porcelain sign with individual letters that spell out the name 'RICHFIELD'. All the letters are 18 inches tall. All are in very good to excellent condition, with only a couple of the letters showing minimal porcelain loss. The sign should bring $300-$1,200.

Lot 2 is a huge Richfield Oil double-sided sign, meant to hang as advertising at a Richfield Oil service station. The sign, measuring a stout 45 ½ inches by 58 inches, features the right facing eagle mascot logo atop block lettering. It comes equipped with steel threaded carabiners. The final selling price is anyone's guess; that's why it carries a pre-sale estimate of $200-$5,000.
