Thunder II, I wasn't referring to Bob's post. Bob posted his post before I could post mine. What I was trying to say is that this sign will sell for $5000-$7500.00 range in my opinion. Can't bid on a bunch of what if's or speculation. First hand info from the seller is important.

Gee, I think I'd simply ask the owner of the sign for more pics and any clarification. If you've read this from the beginning, the owner obviously is inexperienced and asked for and received advice. I'm sure you could expect some reciprocity if you asked.

Bob posted his post before I could post mine. That makes sense now. Thanks for the reply Dave.

Maybe I'm wrong here but i would think the mint side, is the side that has been professionally restored. The other side has rements of bondo on it and i can see gouges in the sign with touch ups. You dont know exactly how bad the restored side was. That being said i think the sign is overpriced already but if your happy with a restored sign then i guess, have at her...mm
Just for calrification i have asked if the best side is the side that has been professionally restored, as the side with bondo imo has not been
professionally restored...makes a huge difference which side she is talking about...

Minuteman.....I never thought of it as you have layed it out. If what you have proposed is accurate. Then "mint" is the wrong word to be using. When I use the term mint, I use it to describe a mint untouched (virgin) sign.

I agree, I'm out. Hopefully, the e-Bay listing will be updated so that there are no misunderstandings or assumptions.

there are a couple guys in saskatchewan reproducing these now, this really looks like one of them. I talked to the two brothers making them and they are using porcelain... the ones I saw were are also unmarked... I wasnt happy about that part...
its the vilas stamp on the bottom that has me thinking there is a chance this might be an original. has anyone seen one of these more than 2 years ago?
Always looking for Red Indian Tins, McColl Frontenac, McColl Bros., Buffalo (prarie cities oil co), Stellarene and other western canadian tins.

Has anyone noticed that you can see through the bondo and see the black letter and lines underneath? Possibly touch up or porcelain, but bondo wont let you see thru unless incredibly thin. Also the black edge around the sign has no bondo showing up when repair is so close. I didnt think much of it at the time, but upon a closer look at the pictures, IMO your not getting the full story.

I think the 'restorer' filled in the the two mounting holes at the top and possibly redid the black outer ring on the unrestored side. The Vilas stamp looks right.
