My wife and I found this sign at an antique store this weekend. I couldn't find any information about it. The guy said it and several other similar signs were being used in the walls of an old house they were gutting. The color is still fantastic. The picture doesn't really show that as well. It is fairly large at about 5 feet tall. Does anyone know where this might have been used? I'd just like to know if anyone has even seen one of these before. It seems pretty rare to me.

One Little Spark...
Gulf gas stations and Disney had a promo relationship going in the 60s. The sign is from then.

It's most likely a gas station sign that was hung outdoors (hence it being large and metal). In fact, I'd guess it's from the late 60s or so, though it could be the early 60s, but in the late 60s was when Gulf Gas gave you a free Disney Songs LP with every fillup. But that's a guess. They also had comics and the like that you'd be able to purchase inside the stations that were called "Wonderful World of Disney".
