Description
A vintage industrial warning sign constructed of painted metal, likely dating to the mid-to-late 20th century. The sign is circular and features a yellow and black color scheme. The face is marked with the heading CRUDE OIL above the central warning text WARNING PETROLEUM PIPELINE. Below this is the instruction BEFORE EXCAVATING OR IN EMERGENCY and CALL COLLECT (with the phone number area obscured by label residue). The sign identifies the operator as EXXON PIPELINE CO. HOUSTON, TEXAS. The top section includes silhouette graphics depicting oil field equipment. The sign features multiple pre-drilled mounting holes around the perimeter. The reverse side exhibits general corrosion and prominent vertical streaks of residual red/orange paint, suggesting it may have been mounted on a painted post or structure.
Diameter approximately 11.5 inches.
