Conoco rocks!

Very nice offering of signs! Love the texaco display!

nice lineup of advertising ...

Great items!

rory, how do I access the entire catalog
Ray

Ray, in the first post Rory made, there is a link to the catalog.

...looks like there's still a lot that hasn't been listed yet...

That is only 4 pages of the catalog. I guess the full catalog is not posted yet

Are any of these signs touched up by the guy in Oklahoma who said he restores signs for you?

If needed I can supply his name

Ray,
Catalog should be finally posted by tomorrow morning. A large segment of the auction is an estate and we have been waiting for access to it which finally happened.
I'm very happy with the overall quality�we keep moving in the right direction.
Hope to see you in Columbus.
-Rory

Maurice,
None of the signs in this auction have been restored. There are a handful which have some minor touch-up and are dully noted in the description. Restored signs should always be clearly marked in the description as such.
Hope this is helpful.
Regards,
Rory

Nine pages of some really high quality items! I'm jealous that I can't be there, but after paging thru the catalog, I'll be attending thru Proxibid!

One Day to go! Wish I was there!

Kevin,
You forgot one.
If I remember, last one I saw sell this minty was about a year or so ago at I think $1800 or so on ebay. This price today set a new high on this I believe.
