Hey everyone. I kinda have a neat sign value question thingy today. Me and my friend were in a little part of ks. We had some old mopeds we were trading for some auto stuff headlights ect well this gentlemen had this good year service station sign and my friend payed got it . Now he's not a collecter I am though and I wanna know price and value before I make an offer on it. The kid we got it from said it was 20's I didn't quite think so... But I'm not a well experienced sign guy I'm only 20 . Thanks for all the info if anyone knows anything on it.
Matt

Looks like 20s or 30s to me..nice old sign but the damage on the bottom hurts it a bit. But you can still read the top easily. Dont know the value though. How big is it?

The use of black and orange, then the green on the bottom places this sign at early teens.

Yes, its very early. Possibly $100 based on the rough bottom, but still fairly nice top.
Good oil cans don't wait for people, people wait for them.

I would think its 1920's.. Condition is a bit rough, but still probably worth $100-150

good candidate for a trim.. No trimming.....LOL...it is what it is....It will only confuse future Oldgas members 50 years from now who will start to debate if it is a "new find"....And only Dick Bennet will be left to set 'em straight.

Well. It's small I don't own it. My buddie payed 100 for it and he's asking barret Jackson prices lol. The dude that owned it tryed to tell me it was 600 dollars and showed me a nice big porcelian sign and I just kinda giggled.
