Selling these for my mom. She has had them for many years, but is moving into a smaller place and just can't take them.

The first is a Colonial Minuteman Gas sign. This sign is in decent-good condition, shows some age. Could use a good cleaning. The info at the bottom reads: S | P 1959. This is a huge sign at 96" x 54". Mom got this sign from an old man that had picked it up after the Colonial gas station in Sanderson, FL was acquired by one of the bigger/newer companies. Here is a link that talks about Colonial and signage:
http://www.gassigns.org/colonial.htm






The other porcelain sign is from Velda, which is now Velda Farms. This sign is in very good condition. They are a dairy farm and at the time were advertising milk and ice cream. Size on this one is 54" x 35". It has a neat rounded detail, like being sliced off the slide of a globe, rather than having a flat profile. At the bottom, is printed: A-M Sign Co., Lynchburg, Va. 11-61.




Asking $400 for the Colonial and $250 for the Velda. Must arrange local pickup, as I have no idea how to ship items this large.

THOSE ARE GOOD PRICES. I'D SNATCH THOSE UP IN A JIFFY IF THEY WERE ALOT CLOSER.

GOOD LUCK ON THE SALE.

Anyone interested in the Velda sign for $175? Deal that's been on the books for several months has fallen through.

I will update this post for sure after Monday night, but I have an appointment scheduled for someone to pick up the Colonial sign. The Velda sign is still available if anyone is interested. Price dropped to $175 on it.

Sorry haven't done this until now, but the Colonial sign has been sold. Please let me know if any of you are interested in the Velda sign.
