Looking again at the sign, something looks fishy here as its not the usuall indian head for a jar rack sign, you have the older version head on there that was used on early 1 gallon oil cans....did you buy this as an original sign????

How many do you want Randy?
I'd say $1500-2000 for the one pictured if no touch up.

Looks like a reproduction to me, as MM stated the indian does not look right.

My thinking is like minuteman's.(fishy)The mounting holes don't look in the correct location on the white border..Also I have never seen the Black/Red paint split through the S in 'oils' like this one does.

Randy yes the sign you show is different looking because it is a different sign it is a 17 x 24. The sign pictured is a oil rack sign it is the front sign from the angle iron style rack these racks do not have four signs on them just one.

I thought the angle iron rack with just one sign used a lighter gauge tin sign that was not porcelain?

Dave none of the 16 bottle angle iron red indian racks I have seen had a light ga tin sign. Are you talking about the eight bottle racks that are more rectangular in shape. Have you seen the angle iron rack with a tin sign?
