My buddy owns antique shop in South East Wisconsin. He usually gives me a decent deal on things that I want to buy from him. He has told me $1800 for the sign. He does not know much about it and has told me that someone offered more than $2500. I really like it want to get your professional opinions on it. I really like knowing the details and history on things like this. So it would be great to know if 1800 is about right or too much. I did a lot of looking online for similar signs. But, there seems to be so many different types I don’t want to make a mistake in looking at the wrong type. Also I am not familiar with finding old auction results. So can anyone tell me With their professional opinion the year this sign may have been built the type of sign (T53?) and the value. Thank you.
