Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion Quick! Need value on a sign

Auction is tomorrow. Not sure on the size, but doesn't look to be big. Maybe 24"x20"??? Thanks.

2-500 depending on the crowd. Mint is many thousands

That's a sign I would like to find room for. I think Greg, hit the nail on the head with his estimate.

Yea assuming condition i would agree w/them on price ,i found the size 16" x 24" s.s very cool sign,i guess there would be many different tire shops that would have there company name down below at bottom of sign??? the one in my book says THUMM'S TIRE SHOP/WARREN.OHIO at bottom of sign!the sign in book looks to be a 9+ all day & says VALUE:$1,600.-$2,500.AMISTADI'S ANTIQUE ADVERTISING! good luck & hope you get it!

Wow! I thought that it would be less in that condition. It's from a local shop that's no longer in business. Sign age is in the teens, I'd imagine...??? Last time I went by the address on the building, I saw a spark plug ad (Champion, I think) painted on the brick wall on the side of the building. The building is now a restaurant/night club.

I'll be doing a phone bid tomorrow. We'll see how that goes.

IF PATIENT ENOUGH, THAT SIGN LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE CLEANED UP REASONABLY MORE.

Go get it That is a great sign to have

Not only is there one sign, but there are TWO SIGNS!!!





I went to the preview yesterday and there are more signs that will be at auction. Most of them are local highway and street signs. Nonetheless, I collect them as well and will bid. These kind of items are not really a draw at this auction house, but one never knows who's interested.

Get them both & sell one
I think it is a sweet sign

We'll all be waiting for you to post an auction on the extra one on Old Gas on Monday!

That's the plan.

I bought the signs!!! And at a very good price.

COOL SIGN!GREAT GRAPHICS!LET US KNOW THE $$$$ THEY SOLD FOR.THANKS

Bet the offers are are all ready pouring in.

Yeah, on the better sign. I plan to keep the better sign since it's from my hometown. The other I will sell.

Hmmm.... Never thought of that.

This is the place now.



I'm curious now and will do a search for any original photos at the city main library.

THERE LOOKS TO BE AN OLD BILLBOARD AD PAINTED ON THE LEFT BACK WALL BEYOND THE IVY...MAYBE CHECK THAT OUT AS WELL.....???

...looks like a Chiclets sign, Doc...

WHOLEY SCHMOLEY....I WAS THINKING THE VERY SAME THING! LOL!

Pretty obvious that a new building was put up in what was probably an empty lot? The old shop was probably long gone.

Gotta Disagree on the Billboard. Looks like Ghi, not Chi. & the C is different than the Chicklets C.

WELL WE DIDN'T SAY IT WAS, DB....WE SAID IT LOOKED LIKE "CHICLETS" AT FIRST GLANCE.
