Anybody got any idea about this tin sign? Measures about 6" X 5". Appears to have slots at bottom like a belt buckle has, could be it was affixed to a pole. I don't know what acronym ASZ is for sure, could be " Air safety zone ".

I believe what you have is a Sunoco license plate topper. I have seen them with other letters than what is found on yours. Go on ebay and look up Sunoco license plate topper in completed listings and you will see them. Yours is in great shape, nice piece of
gas and oil advertising. Hope this helps!

I believe the letters could stand for the owners initials.

Thanks, you guys are awesome. I looked on Ebay and I saw one with letters HRP, to keep the military theme going I'll guess it is means "Helicopter Recovery Pad"

These toppers are really cool! I knew a gentlemen who collected toppers and when he passed away he asked that me and my father sell his collection at auction. He taught me a lot about antiques in general. He also had over 500 VA bottles and a 115 acid etched shot and water glasses.
