LOOKING FOR SOME INFO ON THIS SIGN, I JUST PICKED UP ITS DATED '49 AND MEASURES 82"x12" and has original wood frame, i know most newer are painted metal but this one in the pic looks like a porcelain chip above the S . Amistadts book lists it at 400-900
What can you guys tell me on info/value

IF THAT WAS AT A GAS SHOW, IT WOULD BE TAGGED $450! SELLER WOULD PROBABLY SELL IT FOR $400 BECAUSE OF THE TOUCH UP ABOVE THE "S".
