I like the rough ones also,I will buy minty ones if there cheap enough(not often)but I like the beat up ones also.I have one that came out of a bottom of a lake and another that came out of the ground when they were digging a foundation of a building.

This one had been used as a sled for the kids. Pulled behind a tractor. That is why the hole was torched !

Hey Esse,
I love old-n-crusty!
Just to think about the past and the people who were involved with the making of the signs or whatever and then them staying aroung this long! lota history.
this sign is from a very good friend of mine that passed 12 yrs ago and these were on the ground next to his shop/resturant. He took them down over 50 years ago, but I got the best of the 2. the other one gave into the worms."CAMPBELLS AUTO SERVICE" his daughter gave it to me.
The other ones are just plain old,along with the one I picked up this weekend. If anyone ever visited the LONG JOHN SILVERS you might remember the sword as the push bar on the exit door.I know its not automobile, but its history in the making for my mancave along with my ol barnbds and tin roof. I think it will fit in somewhere.forgot about the ol bike chain guard.



HAGD,
mike

Here are a couple that I have.



Not sure if these qualify for this thread, but they are old and they are "beatup" and rusty.

Here's a Phillips 66 sign you might be interested in. The Buy It Now looks to be overpriced, but they are taking offers.
