I've had this sign for he past 12 years and am going to take it to Fred Stoke's next week and am hoping someone can help me with a value. Each letter is 18" high and they and the foot are "pillowed" out. Over all length is approximatly 16'. It is in virtually mint condition. When I found the sign it was covered with a blue paint which I took off only to find the "day one" porcelain underneigh. Thanks for any advise
Ray

It looks to be worth about $5.oo but if you want I'll give you $3.50 and pay shipping to VA! lol
That sign looks great but it would look better on my wall!
Just kidding about the price. Good Luck on the sale, i'm sure somebody will make a better offer than i did.

Ray,
I've seen the boot for $200-250. The letters probably a little less.

Ray, sweet talk Fred into buying it. It would cover up a lot of his fence. Just don't tell him I knew about it.............

Very attractive sign.I'd like to own it.
What is the overall dimensions of it?..weight?
How is each letter held onto the framing?
Bolted,or welded?..is it all made entirely out of metal?

Let's see $300 to $350 in Illinois. In CA double but then include the fact if I buy it it's not worth more than $100. I'd put $700 and work down from that. My 2 cents Ted
