I have a dealer who has offered this sign to me. Any help on the value? It is a single sided porcelain sign. This was the only photo he sent me.
Hope my photo that I tried to attach loaded....... (First time doing attachment like this)

He claimed it was origianl and from the US. He had several other cool signs, but I just hate the "name your price" game.

One sold for over $500 ON EBAY..I am not sure if its fake or real- the seller had two of them...different versions- I would stay away. I have never seen it before-but who knows with this hobby....there is a lot of fake stuff that is out there...I like the old firestone stuff...but I do not think this sign is worth over $200 if its real---maybe an expert can chime in...
The most valuable commodity I know of is information-Wall Street

From Wikimedia;
Polonium (play /pɵˈloʊniəm/ po-LOH-nee-əm) is a chemical element with the symbol Po and atomic number 84, discovered in 1898 by Marie Skłodowska-Curie and Pierre Curie. A rare and highly radioactive metalloid,[1] polonium is chemically similar to bismuth[2] and tellurium, and it occurs in uranium ores. Polonium has been studied for possible use in heating spacecraft. It is unstable; all isotopes of polonium are radioactive.
