Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Petroliana Value Questions DELCO BATTERY SIGN. 6-Volt Battery Pictured.

Hi, Gang. I don't ask for value help very often. But, I'm stuck of this one because of the corner modifications.

This is a painted tin DELCO BATTERY sign I'm thinking 1940's vintage. It measures 19-3/4" wide by 13-3/4" high. Excellent color and gloss. Appears never to have been outside (may have resided inside a parts store or auto shop).

The issue is the trimming that has been done on all four corners...a little at the top, and more at the bottom).

I have researched RECENT sold auction results for this sign, and they're coming in from $850 to about $1,600. I eliminated the Barrett-Jackson auction result of $2,150 for one of these, since.....it was "Barrett-Jackson". If you know what I mean.

You can readily see the corner trim marks in my photos. Any input on value of the DELCO sign pictured would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. John
