it might not have all that much collector's value, but it is still, in its own way, an aesthetically pleasing sign.

I've seen many a "well past the expiration date" sign that finds new life as part of the decor.

Scrapping it would be a shame... Its' lasted this long, throwing it away = bad karma. It is a piece of art now.

This sign seperates the decorators from the collectors. Collector value is certainly $0....trash. Decorators see something else...something cool in it. Does catch your eye!
