This is a 48", double-sided sign with ring and hangers. I have looked on the internet and only found this particular sign as a 24" lollipop.
Any info including an estimated value would be appreciated!

I have not personally seen it Scott but have spoken to the owner on the phone. He TELLS me that it is minty, "never been hung"
I would like some background info before I see it and the dance begins!

Man! What a beauty...sure doesn't look like it's ever seen too much weather, if any. I'd believe the story that it wasn't ever hung. I'm sure Kevin should be able to help out with this one.

Depending on the other side and a closer inspection, I would say $3000 to $4000

I just think they are advertising the auction. I really like the boat wheel!

Powerlube,
That boat wheel looks exactly like the repop boat wheel I can buy for a $100 at a local antique mall where I live.

So, does anyone know what this sign ended up bringing? I know there were going to be a number of phone bidders with deeper pockets than me, but somebody got an awesome sign!

I got out of work pretty late and it was a cold, rainy night here. The thought of a 2 hour drive one-way was not very appealing! So, I did not go but am interested if someone does know the selling price!
Thanks for the input guys!!
