Shell Oil 1941 “Clamshell” Sign

This is a 1941 Shell Oil “clamshell” style sign made by ArtKraft. This is one-half of a 3-dimensional sign that was rimmed with neon lights. It would have been displayed atop a pole on location at a Shell Oil filling station. The company that made this sign is called ArtkraftStrauss today. They are still making signs and are most notably the designers and manufacturers of many of the signs in Times Square.

Thanks for looking and check back for future additions.
