If I can jump in on this thread, i'd like to know what the sign plus the pole would be worth. There is an old station near my house that has the Texaco sign painted over. I've never approached the owner if they'd like to sell, but if someone wanted to give me enough encouragement, I'd do it. I don't want it, as I have nowhere to put it, but I'd help anyone out who might.

Hi Mapper,

I don't know what that is,but it is not a Texaco banjo.I would suggest that you first measure it's diameter.6'?Secondly,if they will let you,go up there with a razor scraper and see if that thing is porcelain.If it is,I would go get it whatever it is if the price is anywhere near reasonable.That looks interesting,but then I like the uncommon!!

I love mysterys but he must know its a Texaco pole??
As for pricing---again, condition is everything. If you have to sandblast and repaint the pole, you have to consider the cost! Will they take it down for you or do you have to hire it done? Is it straight and free of unsightly welds? Theres a lot of things to consider before pricing something even as simple as a pole!

If the pole didn't need work and it was laying on the ground where I could load it----$500 would be fair. If there are issues that will cost, then deduct that amount. Exceptional pieces are always worth the premium that you might have to pay and poor condition items can end up very costly sometimes! Hope that helps! LOL

That sure looks like a home made post or made by a sign company for who knows what!
My 2 cents
