    Description

    This is a rare, original sign used for the Esso Dealer Service restroom in the 1940's...over 80 years old!
    The white, red, and blue graphic sign is mounted on a rectangle of sturdy masonite measuring
    5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and the whole sign has a nice protective lamination, and has been kept in a pet and smoke free environment.
    This Esso sign is more vintagely valuable as it advertises that:
    "This Rest Room has been sprayed with FLIT 5% D.D.T. SURFACE SPRAY"
    FLIT was the brand name of the pesticide that Esso invented and used in the late 1940's with 5% D.D.T. >>>when that was still considered acceptable to use!
    This sturdy sign has a metal hanger attachment on the back, and has a label from GLASSOLOID, who is the plastic laminating specialists that helped make the sign, on the back lower right hand corner.
    This valuable, rare Esso collectible sign is in really great shape, and could easily be yours to keep or a fine gift for a friend or family member...a fine Petroliana collection addition. I would handle and pack it with care and send it Priority Mail to you safely in a day, so thanks for your consideration.
