My dad was a manufacturers representative for lighting companies in the 60's and 70's. He used alot of Exide emergency lights, powered by little batteries in case the power went out in the buildings he worked on. The sign probably dates to the 70's. I don't know if Exide ever got into the automotive batteries business. If it was me I'd take the sign off the rack, pitch the rack because it takes up too much space, but that's just me. Sign is probably worth $40

Exide was one of the early auto battery makers, but this sign looks fairly modern. 60s-70s seems right.

Here's a link to an eBay auction with an "Exide GO" advertisement.

I'm ok with the sign being 60s or so. Might be worth it if I can get it cheap enough

If you want for yourself fine but if your selling it dont pay to much. I have had different signs on racks like this and they dont bring alot.
