A guy was asking me the age, rarity and value of this sign. I am not buying it, he just needs info. I told him I would put it here for him and he can get expert advice.
Thanks for any info on age, rarity and value !!

Color is appealing in this area of the country. Sign guys probably will say $100-140. Local Clemson enthusiasts might go $200 with the orange.

Pretty rough but one you don't see to often. I would say estimates are right in line. Not worth a great deal…….

Sign has great colors and the little Pennsylvania outlines around the upper edge are killer...condition stinks so maybe 150-2 bills...right guy might pay more...barn hanger or resto bound...

A little research shows this is about 1930/31 and is like the Quaker State Tombstone. I'd put the value of a good version higher than the QS tombstone due to rarity.

Kinda self defeating to have this thread going while the sign is listed on e-Bay. Wait two days and you will know....no guess work.
