"BALLPARK WHAT THIS SIGN IS WORTH"

PORCELAIN OVAL GOODYEAR TIRE SIGN WITH CAST IRON STAND, OR HOLDER,THE BASE, HE DOSE NOT HAVE,AND POLE, BUT THERE IS A CAST IRON PIECE THAT SURROUNDS THE OVAL GOODYEAR SIGN,THEN AT THE BOTTOM,ITS A FEMALE PIECE THAT YOU CAN SEE A POLE MIGHT HAVE SCREWED INTO IT! I LOOKED ON E-BAY TO TRY TO GET MY OWN IDEA OF A FAIR PRICE,WELL I DID NOT SEE THIS SIGN! I DO NOT THINK IT IS FANTASY,I WAS THERE IN PERSON TO SEE IT THIS WEEKEND,I THOUGHT IT WAS DECENT WITH THE CHIPS THAT WERE IN THE PORCELAIN SIGN!

I KNOW THESE PICS ARE HORRIBLE ,CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME THERE OPINION ON VALUE OF THIS SIGN! THANK YOU!

I CAN'T SAY I'VE EVER SEEN THIS SIGN EITHER. THE OVAL IS UNUSUAL. THEN AGAIN I DON'T RECALL SEEING TOO MANY CURB SIDE GOODYEAR SIGNS. THE MISSING POLE SHOULD BE AN EASY FIX. I CAN'T READ THE RULER AND YOU DIDN'T MENTION SIZE, BUT BASED ON WHAT LITTLE I CAN MAKE OUT CONDITION WISE WITH THE BASE INCLUDED? PROBABLY SOMEWHERE BETWEEN $250-$400+/-
I BELIEVE THE FLAG LOGO WAS USED AFTER WWII...LATE 40'S-EARLY 60'S APPROX.

THANKS DOC, YOU KNOW ,I HAVE DONE ALL THE RESEARCH I COULD , AND AGAIN COULD NOT FIND THIS SIGN! AND AS I MENTIONED,I HAD IT IN MY HANDS THIS WEEKEND ,AND THERE WAS NOTHING FANTASY ABOUT THE SIGN,IT WAS HEAVY AND DEFINITELY WAS PORCELAIN,THE CAST OVAL WAS VERY AUTHENTIC LOOKING,I THINK I GONNA MAKE THE DRIVE TONIGHT TO PIC THIS SIGN UP! THANKS AGAIN DOC!

OH AND THE SIZE I WOULD SAY 18" X 24" EASILY !

DOC IF I EMAIL YOU THESE PICS COULD YOU POST THEM ,WITH THE CORRECT SIZE?

HAS ANYONE SEEN THIS SIGN BEFORE?

I PUT UP BETTER, HUGE PICS NOW OF THE GOOD YEAR SIGN ! THE WHITE CIRCLE ON ONE SIDE IS NOT THERE ,THAT IS FROM THE CAMERA! THANKS FOR ANY INPUT!

Diesel,

We used to have a NOS MINT one, sold it a few years ago for decent money, but it was in great shape.

Look to be the same era as this one 1930-40's ????

yeah 30's 40's is what we've narrowed it down to ,i'm guessing this sign dose not surface much on the internet???? i have searched and searched! and have come up with nothing ,until another member confirmed,that he had seen the sign before ,and had the exact sign in the past, that made me feel a little more comfortable about the whole deal,not being able to find it on the internet kinda scared me at first!hoping i did not get scammed! i think i did good! thanks again oldgoaly for the information!
