I think the 2 signs come apart. I bet most would want just the Mohawk Indian sign. I doubt they would want the whole sign??

I think the "Recapping" and "Vulcanizing" part is really cool, too.

Yeah, That's a great score!!! I like how the Company name area isn't really personalized, like "Bill's Tire's" or something like that. I'd want the entire sign aswell....

We could have our own Pickers staring Scott Wright & Mick Dschida! At Least the History of an item would be closer to Correct.

Bill, if you would not mind, could you tell the story of the discovery, finding the owner, and the negotiation please? THAT is almost as much fun as owning to sign (to me at least) THANKS!!
