It is supposed go have "drug store" or "fountain service" above it and some trim around the sides. It is not a complete sign. It is porcelain and original. This is really just a sign that would make a good garage hanger. Not perfect but a nice old porcelain sign.

Sign is porcelain and is from 1939 or before due to trademark location

Here is some more info.

Fair value would be $200-$300 i think. Mint these go for $1500+.

Thanks for the info. So $275 is a fair price falling into the stated range. Again, this sign is a good barn hanger or garage piece.

Ya I think so. It depends on a lot of things. In NJ these go for a bit more because frankly there just aren't any around and people have more money.

This is what bagged1961's sign probably would have looked like...



Margins or wings on both sides and a generic or privilege panel on top were cosmetic add-ons.

It's slightly different and dated 1934 (tenn enamel).

Is yours dated along the bottom border?
