There is a big 7' x 6' two sided plastic sign available. Its the standard Texaco signage; Red/Black Star and Texaco wording below the sign. What's a fair price to offer?

Not much collector value there. If you really want the sign maybe $20.
I had a buddy that collected those big plastic sign faces. Most sold in the $5-25 range at his estate auction. Some of the more common later ones didn't even bring that.

Bigger is usually not better. Plastic signs continue to increase in value. Any damage to the sign could drastically reduce value. I think retail they are in the 75 range a piece. I personally wouldn't pay that much for them, but that's what I would try to sell them for.


see me at Mason Dixon Gas, Spring Carlisle M114-115, and Hershey C4E-35.

These make good barn hangers or interior pieces hanging from the ceiling. I think price can really fluctuate but I think Thermoman is in the right ballpark. I have one myself and I love it.
