I am back to get advice from the experts.......This is another sign I have had in storage for 28 years! I have looked on the internet and e-bay and have not been able to identify the sign. If you would take a look and let me know what I have here and what a fair current market value would be, I would appreciate that. Thank you for your help.

I had one of these a couple of years ago just like that in near perfect shape. Sold on ebay for $25.00 or so. I thought it would be a little better than that.

Jackrabbit,
Although I'm not an expert, I think I have a sign like yours. This looks like part of a land lease sign. Mine was made to cover up "The Texas Co." on an oil lease sign when the Texas Co. became Texaco. Below the words Texas Co.. There is the legal description of the lease and maybe the well number if it is/was producing oil.
I think I gave around $35 for the two signs. If it had the logo on it, it would, IMO, be more collectible. I have a BA lease sign with the logo and know I could get more offers for that one.
Hope this helps.

ditto what Rod said.

Those originally covered lease signs after the conversion from Texas Co. to Texaco Inc. Not worth much at all.

Thank you all for your feedback. I now know what I have thanks to you. You guys are great.

Jackrabbit.

Also could have been placed on anther companies well head sign when Texaco took over the lease.
