As a fellow Canadian and one old enough to remember an old Supertest station that I walked by every day on the way to school, I can tell you that the other poster (American Garage) is correct, the sign is quite rare. As to how much it's worth, there is a small, but I believe avid group of Supertest collectors out there (mostly in Canada I suspect). There was one such individual in Prince Edward County, ON (near the Glenora ferry dock) who had his entire garage decked-out in Supertest stuff (signs, pumps, etc);but I believe he left the hobby and sold all the items.

Be aware that there's an individual near London, ON selling reproduced Supertest signs and mirrors, exceptionally well-done (hand-painted rather than vinyl appliqué). I don't think he sells anything as large as a 60 inch sign, however.

Are you simply seeking a valuation, or are you looking to sell it? If the latter, a neighbour with a gas station collects Supertest memorabilia and he might be interested. Any idea what you ight accept?

Thanks,
