Hi Guys, I have the opportunity to buy these but not sure what they are worth in this condition .... I'd like to make a fair offer or maybe even take a pass based on condition ? Any help is appreciated ! Tx Z

$400-500 for the pair IMHO.

Even with the rust on the bottom these display well. I'd agree about $200-250 each is about what they are worth.

These are painted metal, The top portion looks like they will clean up pretty nice. The bottoms have already been painted over, so you can trim off the rusted portion and repaint that area. If you can get them reasonable, (what they said up there) go for it.

My friend has one of these with the store name at the bottom. These look to have been painted over. If you can cut right below the cap and make it look good I would do it.

Good Call on that Jim! Cut just enough off that you won't need a tetanus shot when handling them. Cool Signs!
