I'd like to get some input on the value of this 1924 Standard Red Crown Gasoline "Coupons Accepted Here" sign. It's painted tin, and two-sided. The size is 8-9/16" high by 23-11/16" long. One side displays well, while the other side is just so-so. Thanks for the help. John

they say a antique is 100 years old, that is close .. ... cool

condition: one side is presentable

value: IMO - minimum of 400.

That is a very hard sign to find. I own one of those signs and I’ve only seen one other in a recent Route 32 auction (and now this one). It went for $600 ($738 after the juice - not including taxes). However, the Route 32 auction one was single sided. Mine is double sided like the one pictured above.

Thanks for taking the time to help, Speedracer. Sorry I didn't post my thank -you sooner. Got busy, and that slipped off my "to-do" list. Again, I appreciate your assistance. John

No problem John. Here is a picture of mine. It’s in the bottom right of the picture amongst the other things I bought.
