Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion KoolMotor and Cities Service Curb Signs help

I have an Insurance Client of mine who has these two Cities Service Curb Signs, Both are in Excellent condition, no damage, both porcelain double sided, the Koolmotor is very cool and colorfull. He is not looking to sell them, just looking for values on his insurance and I have not seen them before so am asking for your help on values, even ballpark, based on them being in Excellent original condition , both are missing the pedestal however.
Thank you very much!

IMO 1000.00 to 1500.00 on left and 4000.00 to 5000.00 on right.

$1000 on the left and $4000 on the right

I would say you both are right on the money there

I saw the Kool Motor sell, with the base, at Columbus last year for $6500

The condition on both signs make them very desirable. I would say Ray is closer on price for the Koolmotor. On the open market to the right person, the Koolmotor in that condition would be 6000-8000.

Remember guys--both are missing the pedestal and we're assumming that the other side is just as nice! I realize how desireable the kite sign is but todays market might place it lower. When you get above 2 grand for a sign, it narrows the group of buyers considerably and those guys expect pretty darn nice quality for the money! There looks to be a blemish on the right side and I think $4000 would buy it most days.

Kevin,
Economy was lower last year. On the right it looks like flash reflection to me when enlarged.

How do you enlarge an image on one of these forums?? I was wondering if it could be flash or not!

Right click, copy image to your computer, resize using paint.

I have Fire Fox as a Browser & hold down the Ctrl key & hit the + key to enlarge pictures/type [to return screen to previous size Ctrl & - key].

Wow! Some big money talking for those signs. Time to sell out and get out??

I would easily throw out 6,000.00 on the kite sign base or no base!
Jerry

i would pay $1500 on the left and $9500 on the right! cash!!!!

Thanks for the information guys, The Owner said he is not interested in selling at this time, but I'll be sure to offer them up here on this site first if they do become available..
Thanks very much,
John
