A Western Roadside Icon Reborn Frontier Neon Sign – RFN7700

Description Original History: The Frontier Gas Legacy The Frontier Gas brand emerged in the early 20th century, rooted in the rugged spirit of the American West. Known for its cowboy iconography and frontier branding, Frontier Gas stood out from the corporate oil giants of the time by offering locally-sourced fuel with a side of Wild West flair. Their signs, most famously the keyhole design featuring a rearing bronco and rider, became staples at rural filling stations across the West and Southwest during the rise of automobile tourism and Route 66. This exact style – a porcelain enamel, double-sided sign – was typically mounted on steel post poles and lit with bold neon, serving as both a fuel beacon and a visual symbol of the frontier spirit. This customer shared these photos of how the Frontier Neon sign he purchased from us looks among his other prize collectables. Seems to fit right in quite well. The H.J.

Restoration Meets Ranch Legacy At the heart of this museum-quality restoration is a deeply personal touch: the integration of the Double E Ranch logo into the original 1930s-40s Frontier Gas keyhole neon sign. This was no casual customization – it was a fully era-correct enhancement, executed by master craftsman H.J. Nick to preserve the historical integrity of the piece. Using the same hand-blown neon glass techniques as the original signmakers, the Double E logo was seamlessly incorporated into a reconstructed lower base. The result? A stunning fusion of authentic Americana and personalized ranch heritage – a respectful upgrade that honors both history and legacy. THIS ITEM IS SOLD!
