This is an authentic German enamel/porcelain Esso Station advertising sign. It features the classic red script lettering enclosed in a dark blue oval, this iconic design was a staple of standard-layout service stations. It shows character-rich weathering, including porcelain chipping, exposure of the dark base metal coat, and rust spots around the hanging holes and outer edges.
The classic typography and layout date this aesthetic primarily between circa 1940s and 1950s. It was sourced directly from the region of Saarland, Germany.
