Posted By: Miken Signs Wanted - Sat Jan 22 2011 12:15 AM
I'm looking for two signs if anyone wants to sell one of theirs. One is a Sinclair H-C and the other is Texaco in red.

Which Texaco Sign are you looking for? There are MANY!
Posted By: Miken Re: Signs Wanted - Sat Jan 22 2011 12:24 AM
Gasoline Motor Oil or Gasoline Filling Station. Is there much of a price difference.
Posted By: 57tbirdkid Re: Signs Wanted - Sat Jan 22 2011 12:28 AM
There is a price difference. I am sure someone on here has one. It's always helpful to put up a picture and size description on what you are looking for. What is your budget?
Posted By: Miken Re: Signs Wanted - Sat Jan 22 2011 12:29 AM
I'd like them to be 42" signs. How much would these go for so i'll have some idea what its going to cost me?
Posted By: Miken Re: Signs Wanted - Sat Jan 22 2011 12:33 AM
I've seen the Texaco one I like on ebay and the prices range 350 to 750.
Posted By: 57tbirdkid Re: Signs Wanted - Sat Jan 22 2011 12:35 AM
It all depends. Min. $300 for a "decent" sign" on the Texaco.

NOT SO SURE YOU'LL FIND A 42" SINCLAIR H-C. I BELIEVE 48" IS YOUR CLOSEST BET ON SIZE.
Posted By: Miken Re: Signs Wanted - Sat Jan 22 2011 12:45 AM
48" is ok on Sinclair. Didn't know what size they were made in. What do you consider decent?
Posted By: 57tbirdkid Re: Signs Wanted - Sat Jan 22 2011 12:50 AM
One where you can see the writing- May have rust, bullet holes, Ect.
Posted By: THE AMERICAN GARAGE Re: Signs Wanted - Sat Jan 22 2011 12:53 AM
I DUNNO...TO ME DECENT IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN A ROUGH BARN-HANGER THAT'S STILL VERY LEGIBLE AND A NICE SIGN....SAY COND. 6-7(?)
Posted By: Miken Re: Signs Wanted - Sat Jan 22 2011 12:58 AM
That sounds like the ones on ebay for $750. If I can get one of those for $300. Its just going on the wall in the garage but, i'd like to get my money back on it if I sell later down the road.
Posted By: 57tbirdkid Re: Signs Wanted - Sat Jan 22 2011 01:03 AM
Yea Doc, Your Right maybe rough would be in the $300 range. Decent would be a 6-7 on a scale of 1-10.



Paid $225 for this single sided.
Posted By: Miken Re: Signs Wanted - Sat Jan 22 2011 01:30 AM
What would a 2 sided one like yours cost?
Posted By: 57tbirdkid Re: Signs Wanted - Sat Jan 22 2011 01:33 AM
Could not tell you- Each Sign Has it's flaws. Keep an eye out...I am sure you will find one!!
Posted By: Miken Re: Signs Wanted - Sat Jan 22 2011 01:40 AM
Thanks for the help.
Posted By: THE AMERICAN GARAGE Re: Signs Wanted - Sat Jan 22 2011 01:46 AM
I ACTUALLY HAVE BOTH SIGNS YOU ARE SEEKING, JUST NOT SURE I WANNA PART WITH THEM. PLUS THERE'S SHIPPING THEM....FLORIDA ISN'T EXACTLY CLOSE SO THAT PRETTY MUCH OFFERS CLOSURE.

GOOD LUCK IN YOUR SEARCH, SOMETHING WILL SHOW UP. IT'S ALL ABOUT BEING PATIENT!
Posted By: Miken Re: Signs Wanted - Sat Jan 22 2011 02:00 AM
How much would your signs cost if you did sell them? Just so I would have a reference.
Posted By: THE AMERICAN GARAGE Re: Signs Wanted - Sat Jan 22 2011 02:12 AM
THE TEXACO IS 1930 42" COND STRONG 7 LIKE A C+. WOULD LIKE TO SEE $700.

THE SINCLAIR H-C IS A 48" COND STRONG 6 OR D+. WOULD LIKE TO SEE $500.
Posted By: Miken Re: Signs Wanted - Sat Jan 22 2011 02:22 AM
If you do want to sell them would you send me some pics.
Posted By: THE AMERICAN GARAGE Re: Signs Wanted - Sat Jan 22 2011 02:36 AM
MY TEXACO IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FIRST PAGE.

NOT EXACTLY SURE WHERE MY H-C IS TO EVEN PHOTOGRAPH.
Posted By: Miken Re: Signs Wanted - Sat Jan 22 2011 02:42 AM
That is a nice sign. It looks better than what I was thinking of for a c+ sign.

THAT LARGE CHIP IN THE FIELD IS A DOOZIE IN MY BOOK AS FAR AS COND GOES.
PROBABLY EASY TO TOUCH UP OR LEAVE IT ALONE AND FACE IT TO THE WALL.

Hey Mike don't know if you've seen a recent post from Big Mac but sounds like he is selling out everything and he has/had a lot signs.

Good luck in your search.
Posted By: Miken Re: Signs Wanted - Mon Jan 24 2011 01:32 AM
Thanks. I just read it and the two im looking for are gone. I'm still going to send and email on something else I saw. That sure is alot of stuff.

The Sinclair HC signs were made in several different sizes, 72, 48 and 42 inchers, plus smaller ones.
