I found 3 signs in an upstate ny barn I can't find any info on these signs because they are so rare they are all porclein and the diameter of the circular ones are apporx 16 in. I know I found something great the only place I have located these are in my book which is in my encyclopedia of petroliana price guide from 1999 over 15 years old. Can anyone help me out and give me an idea of the value of these signs in todays market thanks so very much I look forward to hearing from people

All three are rarely seen, much less together.

There's an unwritten rule that people shouldn't give opinions on the value of items they can't afford......so unfortunately I won't be giving a value estimate on the Opaline and Pennsylvania signs.

We need Wes Maxwell to weight in on this, I know the long sign at the bottom is real but the other two I have my doubts. First almost all of these Sinclair signs that this size that I have seen have numbers at the bottom like SP-1 or the such. Also all of the standing dinosaurs sign, all the real ones that I have seen which is three have a black border. That is my two cent what does anybody else think. If I am wrong I would like to know.

first thing he needs too do is clean/wax the sign
condition of sign: field is nice
rarity: very cool
wouldn't surprise me in todays market if that sign
as rare as it is doesn't bring 5 digits
mine- was purchased out of the antique trader over
twenty/twenty five ago & since I've never seen another
until now.. that sign is:

I am in no way trying to decieve anyone I believe these signs are absolutely 100% real I have a book you can take a look at the pics and it is exactly what I have. this book is copyrighted 1999 so the price is obisouly way under valued. I know people have doubts but it is because you don't see this every day or any day for that matter If you want better photos send me a message with your email address i have no problem sending more pics
