I just picked up a very old India Tyres sign. It stands approx 6' tall and was wondering if I could get a value and brief history. I thought they were predecessor to BF Goodrich?? I never see India Tyre stuff, thanks

B.F. Goodrich was started in 1870, changed their name to B.F. Goodrich Company in 1880.... Check out this info: http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/GenCorp-Inc-Company-History.html"General Tire became a medium-sized company during the 1920s, holding 1.8 percent of U.S. tire sales by 1929, when it had 14 retail stores. In 1931, with the Great Depression weakening many smaller rubber firms, General Tire bought Yale Tire and Rubber of New Haven, Connecticut, and by 1936 added India Tire and Rubber Company in Mogadore, Ohio."

Guess I should spell tires correctly. I have seen India signs spelled both ways, this is an American sign that came from a small service station in Shabbona , Il. Other than that I know nothing about it. Guessing it to be from the 1920's
