Posted By: Stephenwarren30 Shell Golden Oil Sign Value....Help!!!! - Fri Apr 14 2017 05:55 PM
I purchase this Shell sign years ago. It measures 12" x12" in size. I have included 4 pics. I have seen these go for a lot in good condition but mine is pretty rough. It also has a shot of clear coat. I need help from our veteran guys!

What would you value it at?

Thanks,
Steve

Hard call considering when I first started collecting any sign like that was 20-25$ if you were lucky but now people want them so bad they pay more.

IMO it's a Barn hanger and if you get 250 -300 take the money and run!!!

there is 'patina' that gives signs a good aged look.

this is not one of them... its too far gone to even hang on the barn

If you get 50.00 take it.

Damage makes a sign hard to look at, patina does not. I guess if there is a place for restoration this would fit in there. 100-125??

Thanks men. I respect all your input. I sure like Mike's appraisal but will probably end up with Tankar's. I will see what happens.
