You can't base your price on local auctions. Local auctions have family members and very uneducated buyers. I have seen them bring 600 at local auctions to, but that in no way means that's what they are worth. You go to gas shows and you would be lucky on a good day to get 400. You may not want to hear that because of what you paid for them, but it's just the truth. Crowns are very common and take up a bunch of room.

Originals only for me. Always looking for Simpson oil, Super A, and MFA oil cans and globes.
