Score-Another Old Sign

[travcoman45]

Workin up in an old attic, house was built in the late 1800's. Was checkin fer problems an found this:





It was nailed down, face down (which really helped protect it), so it's amazin the condition it's in! Sure this is an original sign. Gonna do some research an see what I can find out about it.

It's goin out in the shop an hang with my other signs. Love old stuff like this.

I too have been a collector of signage. One of the few that I kept is a 1962 Philips 66 sign that is about 6x6, it was in a giant heavy frame. I love old signage.

I would bet this thing is probably worth several hundred dollars, like 600 at least, maybe a grand. That's a hell of a find.

There were two more up there, but unfortunately, somebody had cut big pieces outa em!

Like ta made me sick. But I got one good one outa the deal!

You can still find the old cream seperators round here, but there either junk er the people wan't a bloomin fortune fer em.

I try not ta buy my signs, I either get em fer free er some barterin.

That's really cool, great find!

That's a pretty neat sign. Of all your signs, what's your most prized? I have a client that collects old signs from gas stations and related products (tires, oil, etc) they're pretty cool.

Dude, the most prized sign I got is worth practically nothin on the market. It was the one that hung over my dads shop when he had the truckin business.

When the smoke clears out a bit in the shop I'll take some pics a what I got. Weather is less then friendly taday an supposed ta get worse, so I moved the drum smoker inside an through some wood in the stove! Kinda like smokin in the summer right now!

Although a bit foggy, gotta get an exhaust fan hooked up fer that!

 

[the dude abides]

Sounds great. I'd love to see them.

Is it snowing up around your way. Cold, rainy and lots of wind here

Man thats a cool sign for sure there tip. I bet it is worth a handful of dollars.

 

[travcoman45]

Windy an rain here to, mixed in some snow. I didn't feel like standin out there in that so moved inta the shop. I'll be in there all winter!
