I am not a big collector of Texaco signs but but I have been offered this one and it seems to be reasonably priced at $300. It is porcelain and 3' x 5'.Some of the marks will clean off. There are just a few chips that after cleaning won't appear as bad as in the picture. Let me know if the price is in the right ball park. Thanks

The sign above is Canadian Made.... In 1941 they made porcelain & Tin signs in the USA, had one and know of another porcelain.... Most tin ones were made in the later 40's....
