The one on Ebay is for a Oil Can Rack as it is a smaller sign "MEASURES 16 3/4 INS WIDE BY 11 3/4 INS TALL". The Sign in question is not for a oil can rack as it has Grommets for Hanging. I would say $250 Plus for that sign if it cleans up. The outboard ones are alot harder to come by then the ones that say "Sound You Z" across the top.

Thanks for that info. Guy just dropped it off. What would you guys recommend to use to clean it up and get that rust off, I am pretty sure that rust will come off.

Also got my first oil can! Nothing special, just paid $5.

TRY SOME MACGUIRE'S (SP?) CAR CLEANER WAX. GENTLY AT FIRST AFTER ABOUT 10-15 MINS FROM APPLYING. I WOULDN'T USE ANY HARSH CHEMICALS ON A METAL SIGN....TOILET BOWL CLEANER, OVEN CLEANER, MURIATIC ACID ETC. BE CAREFUL WITH USING CLEANERS HAVING AMMONIA.

WD-40, PAINT THINER = OKAY.

LACQUER THINNER = NOT OKAY....BIG MISTAKE.

YOU PAID ABOUT DOUBLE WHAT THAT CAN IS WORTH....MAYBE I SHOULD SEND YOU A NICE ONE TO MAKE UP FOR IT. LOL!

Thanks for the cleaning info.

Haha, Yeah I know its not great, but hey $5 is a cheap gamble. Could have been the rare rusty from the factory edition... right?

And you can send me anything to make up for it! lol

Ok I cleaned it up, and hung it up...




Could clean up better if someone knew what they were doing. I think I might put this one up for sale.
