A fairly scratched and faded, but still very displayable version of the Chevy sign sold for $800 at the 2013 Peotone auction. Yours is mainly a "barn hanger" sign with little value to serious collectors. Maybe worth $100-$150. The Pure is a different matter. Its in fairly reasonable condition, and for $500 or so, someone could use it. But remember, these a HUGE signs, so they may take a while longer to find buyers for than pump plates.

There were 4 at the CTO show last week in various conditions (some were about that condition), I believe they sold for $300 each. I guess that makes them "worth" at least 300? Here's the one we ended up with, one side is reflective sticker (shown) the other side is the same logo but painted, but was brush painted over with white paint. Had two dates, 1950 and sign makers date of 49'

I believe you got a decent deal at $300. Yours appears to be nicer than vwbusjukie`s sign. I still believe that his sign would be a hard sell at $150.
