Sign has all the basic condition flaws consistent with signs of this age and should be considered in Good+ condition Proud member of the "Raiders of the Schlitz Box"

These are canopy and wall signs. Typical price for working units is $250-300. I love the guys who sell them cheap, makes it easy for me to double my money like we use to do on all the signs out there. Collecting anything keeps you young at heart!

Look at the completed auctions and not just the asking price. Have seen them sell from $150 to asking $300...and more.... Alex Looking for Texaco and Power Gasoline items

If a moderator wants to change the topic title to 1986 that would be fine with me. Some of those ebay auctions are for just the face and not a complete sign. So a working sign should bring $200 and up. I no longer have my big garage and keeping this one might be out of the question. Proud member of the "Raiders of the Schlitz Box"
