A "LITTLE" PRICEY? LOOKS LIKE LOTS OF SURFACE RUST. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF GETTING THAT BACK TO A DECENT STAGE FOR THAT KIND OF MONEY?

Looks like about $250 if you really wanted it. Those are kind of hard to find in primo condition as they seem to have been exposed to lots of abuse. Even a primo one wouldn't bring that money.

Here's a picture of the one Rex Benson had. It's been awhile (5 years) but it sold $600 at auction.

I emailed, just curious if they will take offers...
"It looks great in person. Cool piece. Lots of compliments. Rusty items are very much "in". Perfect display piece. We will keep it if we don't get a good offer. thanks"
and this...
"I think the rustic look of this one is rare. They try to make new items look like this."
RUSTY items are "in"!!!! If thats true, I am rich! LOL

Years ago someone reproduced the cardboard signs.
Before anyone buys one of these, be sure to check the bottom shelf, it sat on the floor and a lot of the ones I have seen are very rusted.
