Has any body seen one of these before. I ran across it the other day and liked it. Just not sure it was worth the asking price. I'm not familiar with the company name. A value would be appreciated. Thanks

I think this is a cool find from a seldom seen company that should be very interesting to Virginia region petroliana collectors. It does not have any logo graphics that would make it a hot collectible. A picture of a 6 volt battery and an old car would do it big time.

Look at what motor oil can display racks are going for. Here's a peek at eBay completed items:

Look at the green prices showing sold values.

If the sign has rust bleed-through, that hurts the value. If it's just dirty and will clean up that helps. It should be worth at least as much as an oil company branded rack with a logo and more to a Virginia region collector.

Not sure but it looks pretty light duty for battery rack you would think the rods would be heavier guage definitely nice
